The Lake (2022)

I was recommended this Thai horror film about a sea creature.
I wish I could remember who recommended it because it's terrible. Ok, it's not completely irredeemable. The CGI for the monster is good, not great, but good. Also, the acting is shockingly good. There are some bad actors, like the young girl, but most of the leads really tried.
They get let down by terrible writing and what I can only guess is a new director. His action sequences use shaky cam, but amp it up by 10. It is literally impossible to see what's happening. He also loves using editing effects to blur the screen a lot.
Skip it.
