The story itself, while decently told, is rife with pulp cliches and archetypes, some of which veer close to stereotypical.

Shimmer Lake takes a simplistic story and breathes new life through the use of reverse storytelling, a beautiful muted color scheme, and strong performances from its cast.

In spite of myself, I kinda like Shimmer Lake.

You might come to Shimmer Lake to figure out this winding murder mystery, but you'll stay for the unexpected flecks of humor.

Shimmer Lake proves there's something extra tragic about watching comedians play dress-up in a movie that fails to be funny.

Black comedy with violence, language, and sex.
