"Inheritance comes in blood… and what follows it."
In the coastal gloom of 1970s New Zealand, The Tank unearths a creature feature steeped in family secrets, atmospheric dread, và primal horror that crawls up from beneath the floorboards.
When Ben (Matt Whelan) and his wife Jules (Luciane Buchanan) inherit a long-abandoned coastal property from Ben’s late mother — a woman who never spoke of her past — they think it’s a chance to escape city life. But the isolated land hides more than overgrown grass and silence. Beneath it lies an ancient water tank… sealed for decades, and for good reason.
As they begin renovations, something is disturbed. At first, it’s just noises. Then livestock disappear. And soon, shapes begin to move in the fog. Jules, increasingly unnerved, uncovers disturbing journal entries and half-burned letters that point to Ben’s mother battling something — something not human.
When their daughter becomes the next target, Ben must uncover a horrifying truth: this creature isn't just hunting. It's returning. And it remembers the bloodline that buried it.
Shot with a creeping, old-school horror aesthetic and practical monster effects, The Tank delivers slow-burn terror rooted in trauma, biology, and buried family sin. Sometimes, the past doesn't haunt you — it feeds on you.
