The Max Original film Caddo Lake, from producer M. Night Shyamalan and writer-directors Celine Held and Logan George, debuts very soon on the streaming service and we have the trailer & first look! Time to analyze them. Ready?
Here we go!
In Caddo Lake, when an eight-year-old girl mysteriously vanishes, a series of past deaths and disappearances start to link together, forever altering a broken family’s history.
The inspiration for the film was sparked after filmmakers Celine Held and Logan George came across a photograph of the real Caddo Lake online, leading to many visits to the cypress forest that rests on the border of Texas and Louisiana. The film was shot in late 2021 and 2022 in and around Karnak, Texas.
Tragedies involving children are always the worst. Children are incredibly vulnerable and it seems to take a special kind of cruelty to hurt them. That’s the case in the Caddo Lake trailer.
The disappearance of a little girl is the starting shot of a story that seems to shake up some characters, confronting them with their past, their traumas, and even their family. And we are very intrigued to see it!
The film features Dylan O’Brien, Eliza Scanlen, Diana Hopper, Caroline Falk, and Sam Hennings, with Eric Lange and Lauren Ambrose.
The movie is written and directed by Celine Held and Logan George and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan, Kara Durrett, and Josh Godfrey. Kimberly Steward, Harrison Huffman, and Will Greenfield are executive producers.
Caddo Lake will premiere on Thursday, October 10 on Max.
