Uncork’d Entertainment is releasing the chilling film The Lady of the Lake. The true crime documentary by Ryan Grulich, who serves as director, writer, and producer.
The Lady of the Lake follows investigator Amanda Paulson and her team as they delve into the chilling case of Hallie Illingworth, who disappeared in 1937. She was found three years later in Lake Crescent under disturbing circumstances. Her body, eerily preserved with a soap-like texture, raised more questions than answers about how her life ended. As Paulson’s team digs deeper, they uncover unsettling truths about Hallie’s tragic fate, revealing a history of violence and long-buried secrets.
The investigation leads them beyond the mystery of Hallie’s death. It unravels a web of disturbing stories that have remained hidden for decades. And uncovers a horrifying truth about the lake’s dark past and the fate of those who enter its depths.
The documentary combines interviews with residents and historians. Experts shed light on the lake’s violent history and the secrets it continues to hold.
“The Lady of the Lake goes beyond traditional documentary storytelling, capturing the complexities of a story that still resonates today,” says Grulich. “Every frame is designed to intrigue and unsettle, inspired by the works of David Lynch and Truman Capote. This film invites viewers to explore Hallie Illingworth’s story with fresh eyes, uncovering the layers of mystery that continue to surround it.”
Having captivated audiences at the Seattle International Film Festival and the Haunted House FearFest, The Lady of the Lake (review) will immerse viewers in its eerie tale of death and mystery. It premieres on digital and on-demand on December 17, 2024.
