Reviews:
“Crazy Lake has everything you could want in a mindless slasher flick and the comedic tone keeps the good times rolling. Think National Lampoon presents Friday the 13th.” Mike Sprague, Dread Central
“The violence is kept to a minimum with a few stabs and throat cuts. Most of the characters are annoying at best. For some reason though I liked the ending…” Shawn Blackman
“The movie loaded its cast with large breasted, big bottomed girls and nudity to try and take focus off the terrible plot. The actors are so bad that a high school drama club would be ashamed. For some reason they had to add a very lengthy slip-n-slide montage, which doesn’t even add any sexiness…” Brian Stevens
“One of many awful low-budget slasher movies in 2017, this one borrows heavily from 20-year-old pastiche Scream and has such an emphasis on slo-mo party sequences of its skimpily clad, perfect-bodied teens that it feels like a propaganda reel for some latter-day alt-right Master Race.” Horror Screams Video Vault
