“One lake. One gator. Zero mercy.” Brainstorm Media has revealed the official trailer for a horror B-movie called Gator Lake, apparently inspired by a true story of events in 2003 at a real lake in Florida. This first premiered last year under the original title Lake Jesup, and it was also given the full title Lake Jesup: Bonecrusher’s Revenge. Not the first vicious alligator movie – there was Crawl a few years ago, and the original Lake Placid as well, time for another one. Florida’s Lake Jesup is the most densely infested alligator lake in the entire United States – known by locals as “the place to take your mother-in-law to water ski.” This is the story of 13 hellish days on the lake in 2003. Desperate to end the slaughter, Florida authorities made the only logical choice they could: they went to Bubba Coggins, a beer-guzzling, refrigerator-sized ex-con & professional gator wrangler with a checkered past and a knack for kicking ass. His mission? Hunt and kill Bonecrusher to earn redemption… and maybe impress his dead wife’s BFF. Starring Sarah Voigt, Danny Nucci, and Derek Russo. Yep this looks as ridiculous as it sounds, but also entertaining enough to watch.
Here’s the official trailer (+ posters) for Michael Houston King’s Gator Lake, direct from YouTube:
An unhinged, ex-con hunter, a prehistoric reptile out for revenge, and a slippery gator-preneur with two rage monsters on his tail — inspired by events so “real” they could only happen in Florida. In the summer of 2003, Lake Jesup became the site of a real-life horror story. A massive, genetically oversized, bred-to-kill alligator named Bonecrusher escaped from Gator Galaxy — a glorified swamp circus masquerading as a tourist trap — and slithered into the most gator-infested lake in the entire US. With over 13,000 toothy residents (400 per square mile, many over 9 feet), the water quickly turned into a full-blown blood bath. Now, in a race against time and an unstoppable killing machine, Bubba must wrestle his demons, outwit a vengeful apex predator, and decide just how far he’s willing to go to save himself–and all of the residents.
Gator Lake, also known as Lake Jesup: Bonecrusher’s Revenge or just Lake Jesup, is written and directed by American actor turned filmmaker Michael Houston King, making his feature directorial debut with this film and one other titled Townsend. Executive produced by Eric Fleming. This initially premiered at a few small festivals in 2024. Brainstorm Media will debut Gator Lake direct-to-VOD starting on June 13th, 2025 this summer.
