‘The Lake’ Trailer – Giant Practical Monster from ‘The Mist’ and ‘Cloverfield’ Artist Will Drop Your Jaw

A big budget Thai/Chinese co-production, this year’s brand new monster movie The Lake has now unleashed a brand new trailer, this one equipped with English subtitles.

It’s also a much better trailer all around, giving us several clear shots of the incredible practical monster designed by artist Jordu Schell (Cloverfield, The Thing, Starship Troopers, The Mist, Feast, Avatar, Men in Black, Planet of the Apes, The Cabin in the Woods, Predators).

The monster in The Lake was brought to life using practical life-sized animatronics alongside CGI, and the glimpses we get of the beast here are absolutely jaw-dropping to behold.

In The Lake, “One child brings back a strange egg, soon realizing that it’s a monster egg. It emerged from the lake, and it now wants to kill everyone in the whole town.”

The film released theatrically in Thailand on August 18, with no U.S. date at this time.

Stay tuned for more as we learn it. In the meantime, watch the latest official trailer for The Lake below, which teases a giant movie monster you’re guaranteed to want more of!
