Vision Films has picked up VOD rights to horror film The Legend of Lake Hollow and will release it March 26, 2024. From Penumbra Entertainment, the film is directed by Chris Hollo, written by Jerry Robbins, produced by Mark Mosrie and Hollo, co-produced by Destiny Chamberlin, and executive produced by Mike Yoh and Gayle Yoh. The story is based on Northern Plains Native American folklore and was shot entirely on location in Sumner County and the outskirts of Nashville, TN.
The film's "Wendigo" creature was specially designed, along with other make-up and special effects, by Emmy Award-winning Ben Rittenhouse, AMUA (Academy of Make-Up Arts) Special Effects Program Director, and his students. They created the effects and costumes with extra special detail to authenticity of the Northern Plains tribes.
Synopsis: A group of friends goes to a remote cabin by a lake to rest and relax when unexplained things start to happen. Trail cameras flash in the night as something sinister stalks them. Strange people appear and mysteriously vanish without a trace. As they start to doubt who they can trust amongst each other, the creature behind these occurrences will reveal itself and is more terrifying than they can imagine.
Director Chris Hollo says, "When I found the The Legend of Lake Hollow script, I knew I had found our next film project. The centuries-old folklore of the Wendigo, with its many interpretations, felt like a movie that had to be made."
