About The Hoax
A psychiatrist's wife is gunned down by a crazed patient outside a fine restaurant. In his efforts to debunk the delusions that drove his patient?s violent attack, Dr. David Lake encounters and reveals more than meets the eye. Alien abductions, serial hit-and-run murders, missing persons and horrors committed by unknown creatures bring this story into focus, but it is the twisted ending that you won?t see coming nor soon forget.
Directed by Huw Bowen, The Hoax leans on a strong ensemble — Gene Ganssle, Lynne Pyrce, Kathleen Benner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2007.
