What happens

Coyote Lake is a 2019 American independent neo-Western psychological thriller film written and directed by Sara Seligman. Her feature length film debut, Seligman took inspiration for her screenplay from an actual unsolved disappearance of a Texas resident that occurred in 2010 on the Falcon International Reservoir along the Mexico–United States border, when he was attacked by pirates after washing ashore in the Mexican side of the lake on his jet ski. The film is produced by Nikki Stier Justice, Van Johnson, Anne Clements, and Ash Christian under the banner of Cranked Up Films, and Van Johnson Company. The film stars Camila Mendes, Charlie Weber, Adriana Barraza, Neil Sandilands, and Manny Pérez. The film was scheduled to release on 2 August 2019. The movie revolves around a woman and her daughter. They live in a deserted guest house. Drugging guests and killing them seems to be the order of the day for them. Two drug dealers emerge and change the daughter’s perception about life. The daughter finally gets courage to escape the best way she knows how. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
