REVIEW SUMMARY
Caddo Lake delivers an engaging home viewing experience, supported by an intricately constructed narrative and intriguing reveals that keep audiences captivated until the very end. Celine Held and Logan George skillfully balance the central mystery with solid technical execution, primarily through visual storytelling. Despite some emotional and thematic gaps that could have strengthened the connection with the characters, the movie succeeds in both entertainment and fascinating intrigue, showing M. Night Shyamalan's influence even in a producer role. For viewers who enjoy a thriller with multiple layers and nuances, there haven't been many opportunities like this one this year.
