Bone Lake Ratings & Reviews
- rg9400October 24, 2025I could see where this movie was going from the very beginning. Maybe it's because it is borrowing from a lot of other movies, but I wouldn't really say it is very shocking or surprising. I also would not say it is particularly erotic despite all the marketing and a lot of reviews portraying it as this over-the-top sex fest. It does start a bit like that, but it quickly becomes fairly standard. I think the problem is that the movie has a lot of build-up going into its final act, and a lot of it doesn't have the tension of similar movies like Speak No Evil while also not really leveraging humor to keep it engaging. Again, maybe it's because I knew where it was heading. I also initially felt like the acting was pretty stilted and almost thought the actress playing Sage was hired to be a Florence Pugh lookalike and the one playing Will to be a Dave France lookalike. That said, the acting grew on me, and I didn't notice it as much later on. The movie becomes a lot more fun in its final act when it finally lets loose, and I wish it had been willing to do that throughout instead of just for the last 30 minutes. Surprisingly, the cinematography is actually good, especially the lighting in the final act. Unfortunately, it isn't enough to give this movie its own identity separate from the movies it is pulling from, and it just isn't fun enough to make it something I would recommend. Maybe it should have actually leaned into the eroticism a lot more.
- LivewireAdminDecember 2, 2025I'm pretty sure this just came to streaming so not sure why Letterboxd is listing this as a 2024 film? Anyway....this was a decent surprise! Way more interesting and gory than I thought it would be. This opens with some craziness involving a shot I thought I'd never see nor did I really want to lol The cast was good for a bunch of unknowns and. I wanna say the same song was played twice in the movie so it felt a little low budget in that sense (not to mention the song wasn't very good) but other than that I would say I had a good time and it felt unique. Not a terrible way to end my insane October run of movie-watching!
- Tom BennettDecember 21, 2025High quality production, but suffers from some obvious plot turns. Acting is ok, and there’s lots of sex and sexual innuendo to keep things spicy. However this film needs to decide if it’s gonna take itself seriously or not but doesn’t quite get there leaving me (and the audience at large) inbetween bemused and anticipatory … I was always wanting just a little more, never quite getting it. Some good gore, a few jump scares but overall not a nail biter.
- Hipster ZOMBIEOctober 25, 2025“Bone Lake” doesn’t ease you in—it throws you into a blood-soaked opening that screams “buckle up.” But what starts as a splatterfest quickly morphs into a sly morality play. Sage and Diego light up the screen with chemistry despite having emotional hang ups like any couple.Enter Will and Cin, the perfect wrench to Sage and Diego’s cog. A doubled booked Air bnb leads the two couples having to share more than a vacation getaway. And just when you think you’ve got the film figured out, the third act drops a jaw-unhinging reveal that makes the opening massacre feel like a warm-up act. This isn’t your typical horror flick with cheap jump scares. “Bone Lake” crawls under your skin by making you question where your own moral compass points. It’s smart. It’s savage. And yeah, it sticks the landing like an axe to the head.
