There isn’t much I can tell you about the story without spoiling the whole fun. Some people (young people, of course – not teenagers this time though) goes out to a cabin by a lake. They tell spooky stories around the camp fire. Things start to happen and then they must run for their lives.

That’s about what I can tell you without spoiling it all. If the movie would’ve totally sucked, I would have spoiled everything here for you – thus sparing you the agony of having to watch crap. But it isn’t that bad.

Yes, it is almost the same as all these stupid-kids-in-the-forest-horror-movies, but adds an extra touch of plot-twists which you probably have seen before in other movies. Nothing really original and it’s not something to jump high for, but it serves its purpose and makes the movie a bit more interesting than it otherwise would have been.

Neither the chicks, the gore nor the special effects are of extraordinary nature, but as I wrote regarding the plot twists – it serves its purpose.

Sam’s Lake is a decent horror movie but really nothing special. Not bad, not good, not going to be remembered in the history of moviemaking (or my mind either).
