Exclusive Interview: Exploring Themes of Freedom, Insecurity, and Defiance in "Bone Lake" at Fantastic Fest 2024



At Fantastic Fest 24, "Bone Lake" made a strong impression with its powerful exploration of freedom, personal insecurities, and self-identity. In our exclusive interview with filmmaker Mercedes Bryce Morgan, actor Marco Pigossi, and actress Andra Nechita, we discussed how these themes play out in the film.


Morgan explained her desire to express the idea of freedom in "Bone Lake" and how many characters are constrained by their insecurities. Pigossi, who plays Diego, touched on the role of men today, showing how strength can emerge even after abandoning dreams. Nechita, portraying Cin, discussed her character's defiance, using her sexuality to craft a bold presence on screen.


For a deeper dive, check out our full review of "Bone Lake" now on Horror Movies Uncut (HMU).





Diego and Sage have fallen into a romantic rut despite the fact that Diego has recently quit his job to focus on writing an acclaimed erotic romance novel. Sole breadwinner Sage finds herself increasingly frustrated in the bedroom and resentful of her role as the supportive partner. In an effort to reconnect, they rent a scenic lakeside property for the weekend on the aptly named Bone Lake.



Their plans for an intimate weekend are quickly derailed when another couple, Will and Cin, unexpectedly arrive. Realizing the property has been mistakenly double-booked, the two couples tepidly agree to share the space and make the most of their weekend together.



What starts promisingly as friendship soon transforms into a twisted series of sex and lies and their idyllic weekend quickly spirals downward in a torrent of orgiastic violence.




Fantastic Fest alum Mercedes Bryce Morgan (SPOONFUL OF SUGAR, Fantastic Fest 2022) is back with another psychosexual head trip. A mashup of an early 2000s erotic thriller and a lurid Lifetime movie, BONE LAKE delivers the goods with ample doses of horny camp and bloodlust. (LORI DONNELLY)
