Vision Films is set to unleash the supernatural thriller “Water Horse” across North America and Australia on March 17, 2026. Written and directed by Jennifer van Gessel (“Beast No More”), the found-footage film weaves together elements of true crime, Celtic mythology, and the haunting folk tales of rural New South Wales.
The story follows a paranormal investigator, an actor, and their camerawoman as they trek into the Australian wilderness to document a series of inexplicable disappearances at a local lake. For the investigator, the mission is personal: she suspects the water holds the secret to her mother’s own vanishing years prior. Their journey leads them to the infamous Lake Mungo, where they encounter an ancient, unspeakable evil.
“‘Water Horse’ is a heart-pounding thriller that immediately engages viewers with its true-crime storytelling,” says Lise Romanoff, CEO/Managing Director of Vision Films. “Although one may draw their own conclusion, the ending will startle and surprise you.”
Produced by Far From Everything Films, the production was filmed entirely on location in Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Hill End, Nowra, and Kangaroo Valley, Australia. The ensemble cast features Lauren Grimson (“Beast of War”), Dean Kyrwood (“The Flood”), Jessica Tovey (“Tracks”), Barbara Bingham (“Friday the 13thPart VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan”), Rob Flanagan (“Superman Returns”), and Socratis Otto (“I, Frankenstein”).
