You might not think ‘horror’ if asked about Norwegian cinema but the small European country has produced a few crackers including the Dead Snow movies (we need a third one of those!), the fantastic and original Trollhunter and the excellent Thelma. So Lake of Death is in good company even if it goes down the more traditional sub genre of horror, the slasher.
In Lake of Death we join Lillian a year after her brother has mysteriously died. With her friends she is staying in the family cabin next to a lake. Someone or something is stalking them and Lillian’s mind is making her see some unusual things.
It is a pretty standard horror setting. Cabin in the woods – tick! Group of young adults – tick!
