Brando Eaton, Peter O'Brien, Brad Schmidt, Caroline Tudor, Laura Niemi, Michael Shamus Wiles, and THE EXORCIST's Eileen Dietz star in LAKE ALICE, a Christmas-set horror film from director Ben Milliken.
Written by Stevie Jane Miller, this tale of yuletide terror has the following synopsis:
LAKE ALICE is set during Christmas at an isolated cabin in the subzero temperatures of northern Wisconsin where the days are short and the nights last forever.
Meeting the family for the first time, Ryan Emerson (Schmidt) must prove his intentions with the Thomas' daughter, Sarah (Tudor), and win the approval of her father, Greg (O'Brien), while he masks his jealousy for Sarah's ex-fling, Tyler (Eaton). As the Thomas family settles in, things start to happen around the cabin; strange footprints by the windows, noises from outside, and a bitter animosity from the locals, including the law enforcement.
As a blizzard descends on Lake Alice, so does the evil from behind the camera, as the Thomas family is hunted down one by one. The family struggles to stay alive as their power in numbers slowly dwindles.
That sounds like it could be the set-up for an enjoyable viewing experience. Said to be a blend of elements from PSYCHO, SCREAM, and THE STRANGERS, LAKE ALICE threatens to "tingle your soul", which I imagine would be an interesting sensation.
LAKE ALICE will be screening at the IndieLounge in Park City, Utah on Sunday, January 22nd, with Eileen Dietz in attendance.
