Caddo Lake (2024)

October 14, 2024 3:31 PM

A bereaved son and a troubled teenager investigate a series of mysterious happenings on the eponymous, swampy Texan lake in this thriller currently streaming on Max. The trailer gives little away, which is probably for the best.

This is the second feature from director/writer team Logan George and Celine Held, after poverty drama Topside (2020); M. Night Shyamalan has a producing credit. Reviews have been generally positive, with a 79% tomatometer score.

I really do think it's best to go into this one blind, which makes it difficult to recommend to people who like a specific type of movie without giving away too much about the type of movie this turns out to be. But personally I thought it had strong acting and an intriguing plot, along with lots of well-shot footage of the swamp.

I thought this movie was clever and enjoyable. Do go in cold - part of the fun is working out what's going on.
