Vision Films Sets Release for Australian Supernatural Thriller 'Water Horse'
LOS ANGELES, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Films has set March 17, 2026 for the Transactional VOD release date of supernatural thriller Water Horse across North America and Australia. From filmmaker Jennifer van Gessel (Beast No More) and her Far From Everything Films production company, Water Horse is written and directed by van Gessel; her filmmaking collaborator and twin sister Janine van Gessel produced along with Nita Naris, Janine Sheehan, and Rachele Wiggins. Filmed entirely on location in Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Hill End, Nowra, and Kangaroo Valley, Australia, Water Horse uses the "found footage" trope, incorporating elements of true crime, Celtic mythology, and folk tales associated with rural New South Wales.
When several people inexplicably vanish after wading into a lake, a paranormal investigator, an actor, and their camerawoman set out to document their search for the truth. The investigator suspects this may have something to do with her mother's disappearance years earlier. Determined to find answers, their investigation leads them to the mysterious Lake Mungo and brings them face-to-face with an unspeakable evil. Watch the trailer HERE.
