Who remembers this creature feature closing our amazing 2022 festival?
Now Hollywood based Epic Pictures Group has acquired North American distribution rights with plans for a March release, and with that comes a snazzy new trailer!
The film’s practical monster was designed by artist Jordu Schell and brought to life using practical life-sized animatronics alongside CGI.
Just to remind you what THE LAKE is all about…
“A gigantic and bloodthirsty monster emerges from a lake after its egg is stolen and unleashes its fury on a town’s inhabitants, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. The town of Bueng Kan, now cut off from the outside world, must mobilize its officials and citizens, as well as a group of scientists that are in town conducting research, to catch this predator before it’s too late.”
Lee Thongkham and Aqing Xu directed the film, written by Lee Thongkham.
Director Lee Thongkham said in a statement, “This movie will bring back the nostalgia of when we first loved the original monster movies with animatronics and puppets. But the most exciting thing about the movie is watching this monster movie with 40% CGI. You will feel the real and spectacular scope and scale from Thai cinema.”
Epic Pictures Group CEO Patrick Ewald adds, “Inspired by the effects of real world environmental disasters, THE LAKE is a gripping movie that utilizes both practical and visual effects in truly impressive fashion. Following in the massive footsteps of GODZILLA from Japan and THE HOST from Korea, THE LAKE is Thailand’s bold answer to the creature feature.”
