Bloat is a 2025 found footage horror movie about a young boy who, after nearly drowning, becomes possessed by a legendary lake demon, unleashing a terrifying nightmare his family is powerless to stop.
Synopsis: After narrowly surviving a drowning in the shadowy depths of the lake, a young boy awakens – changed. His family’s relief turns to terror when they realize he’s been possessed by a legendary demon that lurks beneath the surface. As the malevolent force takes hold, the boy becomes a vessel of chaos, his once-innocent eyes glinting with ancient evil. The demon’s insidious influence pits loved ones against each other, dredging up buried secrets and festering resentments. Desperate to save the boy’s soul, the family races to uncover the truth behind the cursed waters, but the creature within him grows stronger – feeding on their despair. With time running out, the demon’s path of destruction threatens not only the family but all who stand in its way, forcing them to face an unthinkable choice: save the boy or stop the monster.
