Bone Lake

A young couple, Will and Sage, head to an isolated lakeside mansion expecting a private romantic weekend. Their plans are upended when a confident, attractive pair also takes residence in the house, and what starts as flirtation soon becomes a tangle of seduction, deceit, and psychological games. Tension tightens as alliances shift and secrets leak out, turning the estate into a pressure cooker where intimacy and power trade places. Will tries to stay calm while Sage questions their safety, and the night stretches longer with escalating threats and unsettling histories.

Directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan and created by Joshua Friedlander, Bone Lake premiered in 2025, starring Alex Roe, Maddie Hasson, Marco Pigossi, Andra Nechita and Clayton Spencer. It's an original screenplay blending horror and dark comedy, featuring stylized visual design.

Though still new, Bone Lake stirred conversation among genre fans for mixing seductive noir elements with bleak humor. Visual choices, especially the mansion's claustrophobic interiors and recurring bone motifs, became talking points online, and many viewers praised its willingness to play with power dynamics and sexual politics within horror, often.

Critical reaction was mixed-to-positive, reflected in a 6.045 out of 10 score from 89 user votes. Reviewers split over pacing and tone, while praising its study of manipulation, desire, isolation, and the way intimacy becomes a weapon. Lead performances and Morgan's direction drew notice, even from critics with reservations, and the film was widely debated.

Bone Lake had a limited theatrical and on-demand release, with no widely reported worldwide grosses, and it found a bigger audience through streaming and specialty horror platforms. It later benefited from festivals, where word-of-mouth and genre community interest helped raise its profile.
