Story Analysis of The Tank 2023:
2nd May, 1946
We see a man going into a tank when it is heavily raining. Within a few seconds he comes out screaming but something pulls him under. We can’t see what it is.
Oakland, California; 1978
‘Raining’ Cats and Dogs’ is an animal care centre where several pets are kept for sale. People come here to buy worms, cages or they buy lizards, fish, Guinea pigs etc to satisfy their urge for pets.
Ben closes the shop, at that time, a man, Amus Tibury appears to talk with Ben about his mom. Ben, a little bit confused, looks at the man carefully. Amus’s partner was her lawyer before his stroke. He goes through his old files and has found something that tells Ben’s mom owns a coastal property in Oregon, a little place called Hobbit’s Bay.
As his father bought it, it would have passed on to her. It looks like it got forgotten after Ben’s father’s death. Some families have secrets that come out after when their loved ones die. Before leaving Amus Tilbury wises up that his father and sister didn’t die in a car accident. They got lost while swimming in Hobbit’s bay.
A new chapter begins in Hobbit’s bay; The Tanker 2023:
Ben and Jules set off for mom’s hidden property. The house becomes so rusty, dirty and full of weeds. Ben finds his mother’s photograph in a wooden self that makes him visualise her.
They find a water tank that is so dusty and obscure. Ben forbids Reia to go near the tank as it is not very trustworthy. Reia goes to her granny’s room and touches her things like taking granny’s smell from her photographs.
While cleaning the room, Jules finds some missing news clippings about Rosie and the father. That news indicates Ben’s mom being behind their loss. The locals suspected her for their disappearance. Ben doesn’t believe that, she might be a bit crazy but she can’t be guilty of that.
Mom’s Diary:
Jules finds her diary where some incidents from 5th May, 1946, were noted. She wrote about the day, when she got some paper, someone sent it for her. Dad said to her to throw them out as someone couldn’t bear their happiness around Hobbit’s bay. Mom couldn’t decide what to do.
He made a water tank which is thousand meter deep under the earth. On Fifth May, 1946, mom went for a morning walk with Rosie but dad was absent as he was up all night with a storm. Returning home, she never found him.
Ben knows Rosie was lost on 10th May, 1946. No one knows what happened on those five days. He suddenly becomes erratic thinking about his crazy mom as she lied to him.
Reia can’t sleep at night because of the growl coming from under the floor. Jules and Ben check everywhere but nothing appears. Next day, Ben finds some fertilizer which contains high ammonium nitrate(used in making bombs).
Monster fish found; The Tank 2023:
Ben finds a dead fish in the tank when he starts the pump. Jules analizes it as an Amphibian larva, it has bone spurs which turn into legs when they move onto land. It’s subterranean like Apoda amphibians.
Apoda means the blind one. It is attracted to the water that’s pretty incredible. They preserve it in the cooler ‘cause someone might want to study this thing.
Ben and Jules meet Merial who fixes them a buyer who is ready to buy it in exchange for a huge amount of money. Merial says something interesting about the Hobbit’s bay.
People say this land is cursed for the earthquake that happened in the early 1700s. That disaster sent a tsunami to Japan. People also believe if the ground opened up deep, people would disappear. Silly people!!!
The First Kill of The Cryptic Object; The Tank 2023:
Merial is striding towards her car, but hears something. When she kicks off the car, the bad engine immobilises it. She does a great mistake being out of the car, becomes prey.
At night, Jules hears something and sees something with big teeth and claws. Ben thinks it was a raccoon. Next day, he finds a raccoon in the water tank and her sister’s locket. Jules wants to call the police to have a look into the tank.
Ben finds Merial’s body on the way to the police station. As the road is blocked, he contacts them through walkie talkie right away. Conversely, Jules sees water marks on the floor indicates an intruder is in the house. Those marks lead her to a locked room where she finds the lost parts of the diary where mom wrote about how Rosie and dad died.
Immense suspense of The Tank 2023:
Jules gets locked and slides through the window. Ben reaches home, locks everything just how the police said. They reach their daughter before that vicious animal. Jules wises up how she knew about what happened to his sister and dad.
Dad and Rosie didn’t drown, they died in the cottage. Mom made up the whole drowning story so that they couldn’t take Ben from her. She wasn’t crazy, she was a loving mother who protected her child.
There is something in this place. That’s why no one lives here, why his mother never told him about the place.
Ending Explained of The Tank 2023:
That creepy reptile kills the police too. Ben plans to kill it after luring it back to the tank. There is some highly explosive toxic gas mixed with that fertilizer. He is gonna rig a fuse with that. Whatever happens, he tells them not to open the door.
Ben places the explosives in the den but he gets wounded at the eleventh hour of his departure. Another two of the same species attack Reia and Jules. That takes Reia to the tank. Jules twirls her hand with fabric, dipped into chemicals to keep it away longer as it breathes through skin.
At this point I know the audience is waiting to know if Jules has been able to save her family or not. Jules makes a great fight against them and makes it to her daughter Reia. She even confronts a few of them in the den but her positive energy is stronger than anything else. She sprays fire towards them.
Jules tells Reia and Archie to keep it quiet until she returns with daddy. When Ben and Jules return, another one rises to its head. Jules shoots its head and leaves the place with her loving family.
Why didn’t the Amphibian attack Ben before in The Tank 2023?
Ben was lucky enough to escape the attack, it was busy doing something else. When Amphibians realize, some people are living in the house. Ben and Jules get aware of them too. That’s why it seems quite dramatic.
Why did the explosives not burst out in The Tank 2023?
Ben thought the mixed gas fertilizer could kill amphibians that’s why he set the explosives into the den. But those things weren’t strong enough to make a bang.
Why did the police think Ben’s mom was crazy in The Tank 2023?
Mom lied to the police about her daughter and husband’s missing. She said they drowned in Hobbit’s Bay but the police never found the body. That’s why they thought she was lunatic.
Mom lied because she thought they would take Ben away. She lost her one loving daughter, she wasn’t able to lose another child.
Amphibian:
Amphibians have larva, which turn into such adults who breathe air, live both on land and in water.
Subterranean:
