Wow I don't even know where to begin with this "film." the "social" issue it covers is police brutality and the George Floyd incident. This is NOT entertainment and has nothing to do with the lore or franchise it is using to garner more views. I find this behavior to be despicable and deplorable. It makes me despondent to think that people out there would take advantage of human tragedy in order to create a "film" that does not even portray the real life events correctly and isn't even on the verge of being an enjoyable watching experience. We need LESS cinematography that attempts to tackle social issues because it has no place and has no effect. What we do need are entertaining avenues to take our minds off of the atrocious state of our society.

Iconic slasher horror film with a twist. Influenced by 80's horror films, Crystal Lake paves the way for many slasher movies to come in the future. The genius of Crystal Lake is that it shows how the horror genre as a whole is richly equipped to deal with social issues. Crystal Lake is a loving homage to horror that has come before it, with a special connection to Friday the 13th. This film is raw and real.

Definitely a cult film which isn't for the squeamish due to subject matter but finally a film that took a risk, instead of the typical horror movies so prevalent today. I felt this film was a throwback to 1980's film era where there was a wide range of cinema experiments. You could tell the film's budget was limited, but I felt the performances from all the main characters were strong, especially the protagonist. Their change of character over the course of the film was done very well and at a good, believable pace not overdone or rushed. I felt the dialog was excellent along with the plot and special effects. Overall I would watch this again. Way better than 99% of whats coming out of Hollywood these days.
