Film Review – Caddo Lake

There’s a quick way to describe what kind of viewing experience “Caddo Lake” provides: it’s produced by M. Night Shyamalan. A filmmaker with a profound love for twists, turns, and behavioral oddity is here to support writer/directors Celine Held and Logan George as they attempt to generate their own journey into the knotted ways of time. The story follows two characters as they fight to understand a different sense of reality found in local swampland, and the helmers are surprisingly patient while building this world of relationships and private pain. It takes some time for the material to find its way to its first major disorientation challenge, slowly creating a sense of time and space before attempting to rattle viewer minds. The reward for such patience is a decently compelling ride of panic and mystery, with “Caddo Lake” (which was shot three years ago) certainly attempting to generate a brain-bleeder with a bit more emotional pressure than what’s usually found in this type of tale.
