The Crater Lake Monster
ActionAdventureComedyCrimeFantasyHorrorMysterySci-FiThriller85 min
After a meteor crashes into Crater Lake, the heat incubates a prehistoric egg, and the creature that hatches grows into a plesiosaur-like monster stalking the surrounding community. Richard Cardella is among the locals swept into the panic, with Glen Roberts in the mix as sightings and attacks spread from the lake into the nearby woods. The story follows the town’s effort to understand what emerged from the water and how to stop it before more people are caught in its path, mixing creature-feature mayhem with a small-community mystery built around an ancient predator loose at Crater Lake.
