Plot:
Bobby, an attorney, and his wife Lola (Chuck and Karolina Morrongiello) move into a new house located on a beautiful lake.
As soon as they settle in, bizarre things start happening. When Lola discovers the house and the lake have sinister secrets, it’s too late for both of them. Bobby becomes a delusional maniac and turns into a disturbed psychopath, tormenting Lola and killing anyone who comes his way…
Reviews:
“It does pick up in the final twenty minutes or so, but there’s just way too much dead space to get through on the way there […] The American Ripper does have its moments and fans of the Hostel films or Amber Road should find the final act to their liking. But without serious editing, only those who don’t mind giving the fast-forward button a workout are likely to see them.” ★★ Voices from the Balcony
