FOR TRAILERS & 'MAKING OF' VIDEOS, SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE
Twitch, in association with GOMORRAHY.com, is now providing a downloadable QuickTime version of the second trailer for George Bessudo's Lake Dead that's much larger (640 x 352 vs. 320 x 240) than the Flash Video one on the official website for the movie; it's still providing downloadable QuickTime versions of the two short but gory 'making of' videos for the movie.
Distribution rights for Lake Dead are to be offered for sale by Alliance Group Entertainment at this year's Marché du Film in Cannes, which runs from May 16th to 26th.
The screenplay for Lake Dead was written by Daniel Coughlin. The movie apparently stars Kelsey Crane as Brielle Lake, Tara Gerard as Sam Lake, Kelsey Wedeen as Kelli Lake, Vanessa Viola as Amy, Malea Richardson as Tanya, Alex Quinn as Bill, Jim Devoti as Ben, Dan Woods as John Lake (the Lake sisters' father), James C. Burns as Sheriff Chuck Lake, Edwin Craig as Willard Lake (the Lake sisters' grandfather), Pat McNeely as Gloria, Trevor Torseth as Kane, and Christian Stokes as Abel.
Here's a description of Lake Dead from the website of the American Film Market (AFM): "Three beautiful sisters learn of a long-lost grandfather, but only make this discovery upon the news of his grisly death.
Enticed to visit grandpa's old home after hearing of an inheritance, the sisters take a trip to the back country with some friends.
We quickly follow the group of friends through the gates of a redneck-infested hell. The psychotic family occupying the inherited property goes on a long-awaited and much-enjoyed killing spree.
Delightfully over the top, and never at a loss for just the right amount of murder, necrophilia, and incest, LAKE DEAD will make you cringe, but you won't be able to make yourself turn away.
As the family's twisted motives unravel, the sisters discover a terror worse than death. It's a nauseating thrill ride, as the sisters desperately fight to free themselves from this living nightmare.
With all of its secrets and its sickness, LAKE DEAD will draw you into a world that strains the very fiber of human morality. A depraved little train wreck, you won't be able to look away. LAKE DEAD clearly emulates the style and influence of some of the greatest classic horror films ever made, while exhibiting a disturbing originality that could set the mold for a new style of modern day horror.
Some family traditions are born to die..."
A sequel to Lake Dead, the working title of which is "Lake Dead 2: The Rage of [spoiler omitted]", is in development.
