Hometown represent!!!!!!!

Yeah, OK, I'm not really from Antioch, but close enough to spit and close enough to actually have spent my fair share of time on Blarney Island.

From watching the film, yeah, it looks legit. It looks like it was filmed in and around the little town I grew up in. And they made the chain o' lakes look a lot bigger than they actually are.

And it has Lance Henriksen in it, so double trouble, I always loved him.

It gets an A for effort, especially since it does use the shadows to hide the lack of budget. But ultimately, it still fails in the scare department, mainly because it wants to walk the ine between paranormal and slasher and never really achieves either.
