Every 30 years… it swims to the surface… And does some wacky B-movie style destruction. I’m referring to the extremely low-budgeted body-of-water monster flick SERPENT LAKE which will be swimming our way this summer. The brand new over-four-minutes-long trailer has just surfaced and if you’d like to check it out, we’ve kindly posted it for you below.
Now even though you could have probably shot a better-looking trailer with your iPhone, it doesn’t mean that SERPENT LAKE doesn’t offer its share of cheese-fueled fun. Clearly everyone is fully aware of what type of flick they’re making. As long as you’re accepting of fun-loving straight-up B genre indies, then I’m sure you can appreciate what the link below displays.
Here is how the plot is summed up: Every 30 years, in the summer there is a mysterious unidentified creature claimed to inhabit Astaire’s freshwater lake in Minnesota.
Along with Loch Ness monster Nessie and Lake Champlain’s Champ, this monster is one of the best-known mysteries of crypto zoology. Most scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting the creature’s existence unpersuasive and regard the occasional sightings as hoaxes or misidentification of known creatures or natural phenomena. Minnesotans believe in this legend, even though their theories may vary. The creature thought to be a plesiosaur being the most popular of these theories. But unlike Loch Ness or Lake Champlain, there is no canal linking Serpent Lake to the sea raising the question, “Where does this creature come from?” And during this time some people in or around the lake come up missing.
I love how that last sentence is sort of just thrown in. SERPENT was written and directed by Joel Trujillo. It stars Mark Espinoza, D. Brent McKinley, R.L. Yearick, and Mallory Jones.
