From the vaults of the golden age of slasher films comes LAKE NOWHERE, a raucous, bloody romp which resurrects the thrill of gory midnight movies for an hour-long plunge into the depths of horror. Inspired by the dusty days of VHS, LAKE NOWHERE is preceded by original trailers & commercials, replicating the experience of watching a long lost bootleg tape. When a group of friends arrive at a desolate lakeside cabin, they are stalked and murdered by a Masked Maniac, whose lust for blood transcends our world. This age-old tale of senseless slaughter quickly spirals into the realm of supernatural horror and classic monster movies, as we learn the true power that lies within LAKE NOWHERE.
Directed by Maxim Van Scoy and Christopher Phelps

Neat little throwback to vhs era slasher movies, with a crazy little supernatural twist!

Lake Nowhere
Brutal and solid slasher film, even without the 80s VHS effects. The effects lend less of a nostalgic wink or stylistic crutch and more of an intentional obliqueness. Sort of like how the cheap camerawork in Last House on the Left made it feel more vicious, the crunchy VCR images make Lake Nowhere’s genre trappings feel more dark and strange. Even more so when it strays from them and leans more into the mysterious.

Lake Nowhere
Slavish pastiche but equally authentic and inventive. Impossible to recommend because it’s threading a needle.

Great little flick. A really loving homage to early slashers and well done by all involved. It was a fun watch with all the tracking issues and trailers at the start. I dare say I'd call this a delight.
