Strong and subtle drama with a skillfully built in suspense and tension. Compelling performance by Kristian Pierce!

This indie surprised the heck out of me. Intriguing, dark story with some fine performances in challenging roles. Perfect for the Stranger Things audience that can't get enough. Check it out. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Pretty good plot, lead character really good and kept me in suspense. A bit of a psychological thriller that worked for me. Worth a watch.

I was not really impressed about this story about a kid who confronts his ID, EGO, and Superego inside his head. It was strange, but not strange enough. 4/10.

This is a Great Indie film. It's Horror, Suspense, Great acting and keeps you engaged. You want to watch it to end as there is a twist and most movies I can figure them out before the end but not this one! Very Clever!

Great build up of tension and character growth. Strong use of suspense and anticipation! Edge of your seat sort of film!

Absolutely love this film from beginning to end! Traffic film and well worth the watch!

I enjoyed watching this film. Unique story. Must watch film.

Before we begin, let's get something out of the way. This is not a multi-million-dollar Hollywood production. If you're hoping Morgan Freeman will solve this mystery with a philharmonic orchestra blaring, you could be opening yourself up for disappointment. S'ids Lake is an indie movie, and a decent one at that. It also looks filmically decent, especially when compared with many of its peers. While not all performances are even across the board, most are excellent, and I was genuinely impressed with the lead, Kristian Pierce. I found his onscreen charisma highly engaging and wouldn't be surprised if he goes on to do much bigger things. The story is also captivating, right from the beginning. Although there are times when the cinematic language could have been more explicit, this movie contains genuine dramatic tension and doesn't feel weighed down by pointless scenes that we see so often in indie fare. I'm rating S'ids Lake highly, as something at its core works and I had an enjoyable time with it. Director Kevin Ruiz has demonstrable talent and I look forward to seeing his next feature.

This movie keeps you on your toes the whole time as you try to find out the mystery behind Sid. What makes this psychological thriller work so well is that it really puts you in the mind of an outcast and makes you wonder if this person's issue is paranormal, psychological, or if something else is in works. And because it's such a great mental dive in one psychosis, it tells a terrific who-done-it mystery that will make you question what really happened and what is really going on right until the very end.
