Reception
[edit | edit source]Johnny Butane of Dread Central rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and called the film "pretty damn fun".[1]
Laura Kern of The New York Times called the film an "inept, nasty and absolutely irredeemable entry in the stale torture-porn subgenre of horror that more often than not features bloodthirsty clans residing in the backwoods."[2]
Joe Leydon of Variety called the film a "laughably inept mix of softcore sexploitation and full-bore torture porn".[3]
Aaron Hillis of The Village Voice wrote, "So unimaginatively cheapjack that a rapist has to be told of his vivisection in close-up since there wasn't the budget to actually show it, Wicked Lake proves that even Troma can outclass some."[4]
