Bone Lake

This movie sucks it’s a waste of time.

3.5 - Thank goodness for the final showdown & two of the best kills of the year or this might be my worst movie of 2025.

If you told me this script was completely AI, I wouldn’t question it. It’s an absolute mess. It’s incredibly contrived & unrealistic. A lot of the conflicts seem poorly manufactured. And much of the conversation is just flat & forced. Even a couple of the leads feel like an AI image generator was told to create Florence Pugh & Zac Efron (or maybe Dave Franco?). I mean the villains names are Will and C(s)in. (Also, the “big twist” is completely unnecessary & confusing. Just took any of the prior (incredibly forced) eroticism out of the movie.)

But the ending face-off is actually decently tense, & has two of the best kills of the year as I mentioned, so there’s that.

first hour of this was just pure rage bait but i think it was a fairly good setup for those final 30 minutes, which did ultimately save the movie. 6/10

Decent

This was definitely not what I expected, entertaining nonetheless.

Fun albeit predictable, but it would've hit a lot harder had it been with Samara Weaving and Ray Nicholson. The Rental meets Speak No Evil.
