Here’s the trailer for the upcoming horror B-movie Gator Lake, which is about a bloodthirsty killer alligator, and it’s inspired by a true story of events that took place in 2003 at a real lake in Florida.
In the film, “An unhinged, ex-con hunter, a prehistoric reptile out for revenge, and a slippery gator-preneur with two rage monsters on his tail — inspired by events so ‘real’ they could only happen in Florida.
“In the summer of 2003, Lake Jesup became the site of a real-life horror story. A massive, genetically oversized, bred-to-kill alligator named Bonecrusher escaped from Gator Galaxy — a glorified swamp circus masquerading as a tourist trap — and slithered into the most gator-infested lake in the entire US. With over 13,000 toothy residents (400 per square mile, many over 9 feet), the water quickly turned into a full-blown blood bath.
“Now, in a race against time and an unstoppable killing machine, Bubba must wrestle his demons, outwit a vengeful apex predator, and decide just how far he’s willing to go to save himself–and all of the residents.”
Florida’s Lake Jesup is the most densely infested alligator lake in the entire United States – known by locals as “the place to take your mother-in-law to water ski.” This is the story of 13 hellish days on the lake in 2003.
The movie was directed by Michael Houston King and it stars Sarah Voigt, Danny Nucci, and Derek Russo. It looks like it will deliver some B-movie fun.
Brainstorm Media will release Gator Lake direct-to-VOD on June 13th, 2025.
