Interview: Mercedes Bryce Morgan - director, Bone Lake

We have another special interview for you for a film that's hitting theaters this weekend (Oct, 3, 2025). BONE LAKE is a sharp, clever, sensual thriller that explores the nature of trust and suspicion in relationships through a sleek and disarming, twist-filled narrative. A couple's vacation at a secluded estate is upended when they're forced to share the mansion with a mysterious couple. A dream getaway spirals into a nightmarish maze of sex, lies, and manipulation, triggering a battle for survival.

It's a tightly scripted and wonderfully performed suspense thriller, with some big narrative surprises and notable thematic depth. We had the chance to sit briefly with the director, Mercedes Bryce Morgan, to talk about her unique approach to this fun, sleek, and gleefully twisted film.
