I quickly grew bored. I rarely don't finish a movie but I didn't waste my time finishing this one.

Promising start, the intro was great it had atmosphere and some cool creature design. Too much creature exposition very early on eliminated any future scare and gave it some B-movie vibes which probably wasn't the intention. Mix that with a very serious tone and the result isn't good. It becomes something along the lines of a Thai B-movie *Jurassic Park* mixed with *Godzilla* and *The Host*.

Beautiful scenery, ok acting, awesome special effects, most generic score i've heard in a while, love the rainy weather and weird story direction. Some scenes felt overlong and they went for a really weird second half. Extremely weird last 5 minutes, what the hell was that music choice?!

I could see some Kaijū lovers getting a kick out of ***The Lake*** for it's monster parts but the rest is mediocre at best.
