The official website for Andrew Christopher Erin's Sam's Lake - a remake of his 2002 short of the same title - is now online, and there's a downloadable trailer for the movie on that site. As was previously reported here on Twitch, the movie is scheduled to have its world première at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) on April 28th at 11:30 p.m., and to subsequently be screened there on April 29th at 4:00 p.m., May 2nd at 11:00 p.m., May 5th (technically, May 6th) at 12:00 a.m., and May 6th (technically, May 7th) at 12:00 a.m..
The screenplay for Sam's Lake was written by Erin. The movie stars Fay Masterson as Sam, Sandrine Holt as Kate, William Gregory Lee as Jesse, Stephen Bishop as Franklin, Megan Fahlenbock as Melanie, and Salvatore Antonio as Dominik.
Here's a synopsis for Sam's Lake from the official website for the movie: "Near a lake in an isolated area, an escaped psychiatric patient makes his way through the surrounding wilderness, back to his childhood home, slaughtering his family in their sleep, then runs into the woods never to be found. Many years later the horrifying massacre has turned legend as disappearances haunt the surrounding towns. ¶ Sam (Fay Masterson), a young woman who, every summer, returns home to the secluded lakeside cottage where she grew up, reconnects with her traditions, old friends and memories of the past. ¶ This year, a group of hip, young urbanites, Kate (Sandrine Holt), Franklin (Stephen Bishop), Melanie (Megan Fahlenbock) and Dominik (Salvatore Antonio) join Sam on her annual trip. But when Sam and her friend Jesse (William Gregory Lee), a local to the area, take the group on an adventure to revisit the site of the murder they all come face to face with the terrifying legend of 'Sam's Lake'."
