“Lake Alice” (** out of four) was a ho-hum horror show about a family who goes to their cabin in the woods to celebrate Christmas together with their daughter and her new boyfriend but they find themselves besieged and slaughtered by a murderous bunch of rednecks and psychotics. Reheated mix of “Friday The 13th”, “You’re Next”, and (oh I almost forgot) “The Cabin In The Woods” is neither the best nor the worst of its kind but too routine to make an impression, and too constrained by a low budget. It’s movies like these that make you realize what a masterwork the original “Friday The 13th” series was by comparison.
