The Thing from the Lake

"The Thing from the Lake" is a pantomime porn staged entirely outdoors with some chintzy props - both economical rather than artistic decisions. It stars lesbian icon Bree Daniels as a scientist taking samples at the lake to find out what is harming local vegetation, and encountering an aquatic monster well-played silently by Bella Rolland.

Such homages to The Creature from the Black Lagoon included the Oscar-winner The Shape of Water, but this Canadian content special is hardly in that league. Bella's makeup suggests gills, but otherwise she is merely lesbian fodder for Bree as well as delivering boy/girl action with sunbather Lucas Frost. The scene scores on atmosphere, and differs markedly in its full color look from the drabness/color drained gimmick of nearly all Pure Taboo content.
