Jules (Luciane Buchanan) and her husband Ben (Matt Whelan) run a pet shop. It means they can be together as a family, with daughter Reia (Zara Nausbaum) helping out and even dog Archie doing his bit, but business isn’t great, so when they learn that Ben has re3ceived an unexpected inheritance, they wonder if it might be the solution they’ve been looking for. At first the overgrown, poorly preserved house doesn’t look as if it will be worth much, but when they see what’s at the back of it – a broad, steep-banked hidden cove on the highly desirable Oregon coast – they realise that they may have struck gold. They don’t make the mistake of moving there themselves – horror film risk number one – but do decide to stay there for a few days whilst they clean it up. Then Ben makes a different classic horror film mistake:.

Set in 1978, The Tank opens with Ben getting some news about his deceased mother. It appears his father left her coastal property in Hobbit’s Bay Oregon that she never told anyone about. He also finds out that rather than dying in a car accident, his father and sister drowned in said bay. Of course, you or I know better than to go near something like that because it never ends well. Ben, of course, packs up his wife Jules and their daughter Reia (Zara Nausbaum; The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith) and goes to check it out.
Writer/director Scott Walker does throw a switch at viewers by having the house actually look like it’s been abandoned for decades. Boarded up, weathered, and overgrown with vines and other vegetation on the outside,...

Writer/Director Scott Walker (The Frozen Ground) evokes the ’80s creature feature for his sophomore film, The Tank. A simple, self-contained premise serves as the foundation for a creature effects showcase. While unique creature design and effects by Weta Workshop make for a compelling centerpiece, the simplistic storytelling undermines it by undercutting the tension and stakes.
Ben (Matt Whelan) and his wife, Jules (Lucianne Buchanan), run a small but bustling pet shop that doubles as daughter Reia’s (Zara Nausbaum) playground. Jules’s extensive knowledge of animals might come in handy when Ben learns that he’s inherited coastal property that has sat uninhabited like a dark family secret for decades. As the family travels to the estate to investigate and explore Ben’s inheritance, they unwittingly wake a long-dormant threat that’s terrorized the land and Ben’s ancestors for generations.
As Ben descends to the cavernous underground water tank on the property,...

A new creature feature from New Zealand filmmaker Scott Walker (The Frozen Ground), The Tank is coming to select theaters on April 21 followed by a Digital release on April 25.
Set in the 1970s, The Tank is a story about a young family who awakens a horde of creatures. Academy Award-winning special effects supervisor and creative director Richard Taylor and his team at Peter Jackson’s VFX studio Weta Workshop created the creature effects!
Bloody Disgusting has been told that one of the themes throughout the film is the clash between masculine and feminine values. This led to Regina Hegemann’s casting as The Creature.
“Not only has she got the flexibility and the performance, but she has the no fear attitude needed to play this role,” director Scott Walker tells us. “I really wanted every element of the film to feel like it really happened so everything needed to be...

"It's knows we're here."

Starring Luciane Buchanan, Matthew Whelan, Zara Nausbaum, Regina Hegemann, Jack Barry, and Holly Shervey. The crew also features Crawl composer Max Aruj creating the score. With the tease at the beginning about axolotl, the monster seems like a giant mutant salamander - or axolotl. Looks freaky. // Continue Reading ›...
