The Lake Michigan Monster (2018)

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into The Lake Michigan Monster (2018), an adventure comedy horror film that follows an alcoholic sea captain and his misfit crew on a mission to take down a mysterious lake monster. Made for just $7,000, this indie oddity is packed with absurd humour, wild storytelling, and a distinct low-budget charm.

We break down its black-and-white aesthetic, ambitious effects, and chaotic narrative, along with the surprisingly creative monster design. With nods to classic horror and a style that swings between clever and completely unhinged, this episode explores what makes The Lake Michigan Monster a true indie curiosity.
