Plot synopsis:
Oregon, 1978. Ben Adams and his wife Jules are in for a surprise when they inherit an abandoned coastal property that Ben’s recently deceased mother never mentioned. Untouched for forty years the house looms like an eerie relic over land which includes a stunning private cove and beach.
The beauty and tranquillity of the place leave the family with the nagging question: why was this property kept a secret for so long? While Jules rummages through the house looking for answers, Ben goes to repair the buried water tank, not knowing in doing so he is unleashing a long dormant creature, fiercely protective of its environment…
Release:
In the US, The Tank will be released by Well Go USA theatrically in select locations on April 21, 2023, and then On-Demand (VOD) on April 25, 2023.
