Two couples, mistakenly double booked and stuck in a getaway mansion in the deep woods, engage in mind and sexual games that tests the fidelity of the more modest of the two couples (Maddie Hasson and Marco Pigossi). What follows is at first intriguing, then mundane, before turning into a farce whose laughs are, alas, too unintentional.
"Bone Lake" is a prime example of a movie most erroneously marketed. Neither its poster, nor the trailer, present it accurately. Instead of the clever thriller its ad campaign promised it to be, majority of it is poorly acted, lazily written, and staged and directed so embarrassingly in its final act (a scene where a character falls on a chainsaw idiotically sprays more blood in all directions than a geyser) that the final ten minutes made me wish I was enduring a colonoscopy instead.
It is never my goal to take a dump on any film, and "Bone Lake" may not be the worst movie I've ever seen, but out of the one-hundred-plus films I watched so far in 2025, this one won't make the cut of my top 150.
