John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture ... this is somehow, shamefully, more creepy fun than the original. Feb 3, 2018 Full Review Michael Speier Variety USA's Return to Cabin by the Lake is nothing like its predecessor -- and that's a good thing. Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I came across this just scanning through the channels. surprisingly, I really liked it. No, it's not realistic. I don't think a movie needs to be. The point of a movie is to get away from the real world and be entertained. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What can I say? USA Cable Network obviously sucks when it comes to having movies produced....too much cable is a very bad thing! I watched this sequel and it was actually much better than the first film. The female character who survives is stronger than the one in the first and more ruthless, almost killing Stanley in the final moments but then relenting and thus allowing him to survive seeming death and escape capture by police. Not necessarily realistic but a thrill ride. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I lovev michael weatherly Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the first, the highly annoying director being buried alive while Stanley watches the fireworks is good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member oh man. i saw the first one back in the day, and for a made for tv movie, it was alright. but this, this was just so so bad. there aren't even words to describe how bad it was. my soul wept for brian krause's acting.
