I've looked in trivia and didn't find the answer to this question:
Did they really blow up that beautiful lake house, or was that computer-generated imagery? Has anyone read anything about that?
Thanks!

I don't know the answer to this but my best guess would be that they didn't blow up the house. More likely they constructed a shell of more or less identical external appearance and blew that up instead.

Nope, they didn't blow up the house. They made a small model of the house and blew that up instead. I live on the lake it was filmed at in Virginia, and the house is definitely still there.
shareI worked on the movie & as the previous poster said, they did in fact not blow up the house it was a faux paux or replica if you will of the actual establishment soujourned by the individuals in the film. Had the actual "house" been subjected to combustion, not only would it have been deemed unnecessary monetarily speaking, but hazardous to not only the actors & others in the community, but also crossing lines over time & space with environmental legalities that our lawyers felt should possibly be avoided if possible.
shareWhat did you do in the film?
shareAccording to the link below, it was a 3/4 size model. I'm surprised they need to make it that large.

I heard that a Sasquatch ate the house and then pooped it out on the front lawn of the house next door.

Dr. Marvin's lake house was also used as Paul Krendler's house in Hannibal--the house where the dinner party scene took place.
