Lake Dead, cortado para exibição no HorrorFest

Para obter uma classificação "R", George Bessudo - realizador de Lake Dead, um dos filmes em exibição no After Dark Horrofest - teve que cortar algumas das cenas mais perturbadoras.

"There was pressure from the [Motion Picture Association of America] to tone the movie down. And in the end, we had to comply in order to get an R rating. A director is never happy to make cuts to his or her movie, but I still think the R-rated version is going to really satisfy the horror fans. And if they want even more, they can always check out the unrated DVD. It's going to be a real shocker!"

Lake Dead, retrata a estória de três irmãs e os seus amigos, que viajam até à casa do seu avô. Quando lá chegam, dão de caras com uma família de psychos que vive na sua casa.

Para quem pensar que este filme é apenas mais um:

"I think Lake Dead takes the 'teens-stranded-in-the-woods' formula to another level, because Dan Coughlin, the writer, introduces some very disturbing elements that I had never seen before. I'm a little reluctant to discuss them here, because I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but let's just say that some of the most shocking moments in the film have nothing to do with violence or gore. I'm sure the fans are really going to get a kick out of this one."

Tendo sido filmado em apenas 15 dias, é sem dúvida um filme para os fãs do género.
