‘The Tank’ is a recent horror film currently climbing Hulu’s charts. The plot revolves around Ben, portrayed by Matt Whelan, who inherits a mysterious coastal property from his late mother. Along with his wife Jules (Luciane Buchanan) and daughter Reia (Zara Nausbaum), the family’s excitement turns to dread as they stumble upon a peculiar water tank on the property. This tank, as the title suggests, holds a dark secret.
While the film has garnered a significant fanbase, with many praising its unique monster design, critics have given it a mixed reception. Currently, it holds a 33% ‘fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, its popularity among viewers is undeniable, as it clinched the sixth spot on Hulu’s charts as of October 19, 2023. This is particularly impressive considering its modest global box office earnings of less than $100,000 during its brief theatrical release.
The intrigue around “The Tank” is further fueled by its mysterious creature, which, despite being scarcely shown in promotional materials, has been a topic of much discussion. The creature’s design, crafted by the acclaimed Weta co-founder Richard Taylor, has been a highlight for many. Taylor’s previous accolades include five Oscars for his exceptional work on iconic films like “King Kong” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
