The Lake (2022)

If you are looking for a good movie to show the quality of Thai Cinema and this is not it. It’s such a mess I don’t know where to begin. I can’t blame the English subtitles – although they are a bit strange with English culturalisms.. like the police officer acknowledging a radio call by saying “roger that.” So there is this monster that apparently lives in the lake and kills scores of people. Fairly decent EFX…but the story is well, full of holes and hard to follow. And the ending.. what the? There is a side story with two university researchers…who disappear after appearing.. and then come back in the end with the answer of what the monster is looking for. And somehow they are allowed into the hospital to view records and interview patients as well as access to the police chief… because they say they want to help? Every, and I mean every, confrontation scene with the monster is overlong.
