No cast, no movie.
He wanted it to "look real when they died?"
If this was supposed to be such a high budget movie, use the special effects, MAN.
Of course like the first one, the captured girl gets away, and Stanley ends up getting messed up, and dissapears.
Woooooow (sarcasm).
This movie HAD potential.
And the saddest thing of all...
the really sad part...
I would watch a "Cabin by the Lake 3."
Only because I like Judd Nelson, and he's the only good part about this sequal.
I watched Cabin by the Lake this afternoon on USA.
Considering this movie was made for TV is was interesting enough to watch the sequel.
So, I tune in for the airing this evening and was extremely disappointed.
I knew I wouldn't like the movie, but I was not expecting to be perplexed by the use of DV (digital video).
The movie would have been tolerable if it wasn't for these juxtaposed digital shots that seemed to come from nowhere.
I expected the plot line to be tied in with these shots, but there seemed to be no logical explanation.
(WARNING: THE FOLLOWING MAYBE A SPOILER!!!!
) The open ending in Cabin by the Lake was acceptable, but the open ending on the sequel is ridiculous.
I can only foresee Return of Return to The Cabin by the Lake being watch able is if the movie was shown up against nothing, but infomercials at 4 o'clock in the morning.
*Possible Spoiler* 'Return to Cabin by the Lake' is a useless movie.
The acting was not good and the plot wasn't even remotely interesting.
'Cabin by the Lake' is a good TV movie.
The sequel was not.
Judd Nelson was very good in the first film and put a whole lot more into his character than in this.
It seemed as if HE wasn't even interested in doing the sequel.
His acting was good but it could have been better.
I really don't want to comment on the rest of the cast because in my opinion, they're not even worth mentioning.
But I'll do it.
The character of Alison isn't even hardly shown in the first part of the film.
All of a sudden she's the center of attention next to Stanley Caldwell.
The role didn't make sense and it should have been thought out a little better.
Dahlia Salem was absolutely terrible.
Her acting was way below decent and the casting people should have looked for somebody else, anybody else.
The director, Mike, was a confusing character.
He seemed to have a purpose for being there but it didn't seem like his death was necessary.
The acting for this role was good, nothing great but better than Salem's.
The plot was real lousy if you think about it.
Stanley, who is presumed dead, makes his way onto the set of 'Cabin by the Lake', the movie based on his script.
He stumbles upon the director and in a short time, the director is dead and Stanley is running the show.
Yeah, out of nowhere the crew is just going to let this stranger come into the picture and finish the film not knowing anything about him.
There's some killings, not a whole lot, and the one's that are shown are ridiculous.
One of the actresses on the set gets electrocuted while filming a scene.
Another character gets chewed up by a motorboat.
And one gets tangled up in a plant before drowning.
These writers must have been hard up for excitement.
I just have to say that I was not impressed with the filming of the movie.
The way that it kept changing from looking low budget back to normal started to become irritating very fast.
Also, the new cabin by the lake was poorly created.
We aren't shown it but only in a few scenes, and the whole thing with the chain in the basement was useless.
It worked in the first film only because we were shown the room a lot more, but it didn't work in this one.
There were too many characters in this sequel.
All of them except for a few had no reason to be there.
The acting of what little is showed was really bad and...
they just didn't have a purpose in this movie.
All in all, 'Return to Cabin by the Lake' is a sequel picking up from where the first left off.
'Cabin by the Lake' I can take but this was just not impressive.
Judd Nelson should have avoided this one and so should you.
It's nothing like the first and it went entirely too slow.
Nothing happened in the first hour and it continued to drag on for the second.
Not to mention that the writing was horrible.
Put this on only if you need some help getting to sleep.
So, we see that Stanley defies death and is still alive and well.
By the way he talks, it sounds like there could be a possible third installment to a movie good just by itself.
Quit throwing in sequels and we may be alright!
(Did the film makers not realize that they showed us how they filmed the lake scenes from the first one?
They were all done in a tank.
Never, never reveal the secrets of filming.)
A decent sequel, but does not pack the punch of the original.
A murderous screenwriter(Judd Nelson)assumes new identities in order to direct his own novel CABIN BY THE LAKE.
Still ruthless killing, but movie seems very tongue-in-cheek.
Any humor is not of the funny kind.
Total project seems to have the quality of a quickie and at times Nelson is way over the top.
This movie is about a script being rewritten before going to the screen...
this should have happened to this script.
Return to Cabin by the Lake does not, in any way, stand up to the original.
With only one main character (Stanley) returning for the sequal, the film is not even worth the 2 hours of your time.
I am a huge fan of the first film, the story line and acting was really good, but this is one movie that I will never again watch.
It is basically equal to what the sequals to Urban Legends and Blair Witch were like, but with much worse acting.
I've personally seen better acting in soap operas, it is so pitiful that you just have to laugh.
I, in no way, recommend this movie to anyone, watching it will just detract from the first.
I thought Hedy Burress (who managed to escape from the watery grave of part one) was going to be in part 2 Guess not.
I just think they should of killed her off like in Friday The 13th Part 2 (you know what I mean).
This movie like Scream 3, and Urban Legend 2 followed movies within a movie.
This was PURE CRAP!
The whole Movie within a Movie crap.
BAD STAY AWAY!
Viewers gushing over everything including the title sequence (now THAT is funny) would have us believe this is some sort of cinematic miracle, but, trust me folks, this is one of the most embarrassingly bad films you could ever see, and if you're not laughing at it five minutes in, I'd say you've lost your sense of humor.
David Niven plays a doomed and bravado-besotted RAF pilot who somehow thinks it appropriate to engage an impressionable (female) air traffic controller in an emotional conversation about love, just as he's plunging to his certain and fiery death.
(Isn't it romantic...
) Of course, he's spared by a quirk of metaphysical chance, and washes up on the beach, just as this same air traffic controller is riding by on her bicycle.
(They immediately clinch).
Looking past the bizarre homo-erotic subtexts, (so over the top you really need to refer to them as supertexts, from a naked boy sitting bare-butted in the sand playing the movie's twilight-zone-esquire theme on his little flute, to a celestial courier so campy/queen-y his makeup is caked on more thoroughly than the ladies'), the most bizarre aspects of the movie are how it weaves such bad caricatures of national and racial stereotypes into a convoluted attempt to argue some kind of point about the universal nature and power of love.
We get it--fly boys like girls in skirts and heels, and girls like 'em back, and, apparently, all you have to do is cry a little to make it noble enough for your movie to get 10 stars on IMDb...
As for the quality of the production, the continuity/editing is poor enough to induce cringing, and the lighting is, perhaps, even worse than that, but you hardly have time to notice because the script is so bad.
There are games played with Technicolor, (whatever passes for heaven is in black and white if you can figure out the sense in that), and foreshadowing, (so funny my fellow audience member who usually like movies like this actually cheered and laughed when then the doc's motorcycle finally ended up in a fiery wreck), and freeze-motion, (which is funniest of all because the female lead is so poor at standing still you know the stage hands were guffawing off camera).
The best shots are the early ones on the beach, but, after that, it's all downhill.
The (moving like an escalator is moving) staircase is hardly the Odessa Steps, to say the least, and I'd really caution anyone from feeling like they'd have to see this lame attempt at movie-making on their account.
The movie overall is bad enough to be funny, and that's about the best thing I can say for it.
I saw this movie recently because a friend brought it with him from NYC.
After 30 minutes, I said to him," You've got to be kidding.
