The Bone Lake teaser cautions never to share a rental with a stranger

According to the Bone Lake synopsis, “A couple’s romantic vacation at a secluded lakeside estate is upended when they are forced to share the mansion with a mysterious and attractive couple. In this darkly hilarious and seductive horror story, a dream getaway spirals into a nightmarish maze of sex, lies, and manipulation, bringing terrifying secrets to light and triggering a bloody battle for survival.”

The Bone Lake teaser certainly gives the appearance of a vacation from hell—one couple is seen fleeing naked through the woods, there’s lots of creepy voyeurism, and what looks like a wrapped-up body being dragged to who knows where. Plus there’s a whole array of weaponry, from a revved-up chainsaw to a crossbow and everything in between. The initial premise might suggest Barbarian, but there are seeds of all sorts of horror favorites embedded within the teaser, like Friday The 13th, Cabin In The Woods, and maybe a little Ready Or Not. The film originally premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2024, where it was met with warm reviews and ultimately picked up by Bleecker Street. Directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan from a script by Joshua Friedlander, Bone Lake premieres in theaters on October 24.
