Max has released the trailer and poster for its original film Caddo Lake, which will debut on the streaming service on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The movie comes from writer-directors Celine Held and Logan George and producer M. Night Shyamalan.
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 cast includes Dylan O’Brien, Eliza Scanlen, Diana Hopper, Caroline Falk, and Sam Hennings, with Eric Lange and Lauren Ambrose.
The inspiration for Caddo Lake 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.
The movie was produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan, Kara Durrett and Josh Godfrey. Kimberly Steward, Harrison Huffman, and Will Greenfield are the executive producers.
Caddo Lake was rated PG-13 for some disturbing/bloody images, thematic elements, and brief, strong language.
Dylan O’Brien kicked off his career in the MTV supernatural series Teen Wolf and first appeared on the big screen in The Maze Runner, which was followed by two sequels. He’s also starred in Deepwater Horizon, American Assassin, Bumblebee, and Love and Monsters.
Eliza Scanlen rose to prominence in the Australian soap opera Home and Away before receicing critical acclaim for starring in the HBO miniseries Sharp Objects. Her credits also include Babyteeth, Little Women, and The First Lady.
