New Movie Shot In East Texas Premieres On Streaming Service

One Of Hollywood's Masters Of Suspense And Plot Twists Picked East Texas For His Latest Thriller.

If you're from East Texas or Northwest Louisiana, you may have spent some time on Caddo Lake. It is now the backdrop of M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie that's being released this week.

“Caddo Lake” is a chilling mystery-thriller set against the eerie backdrop of the real Caddo Lake in East Texas.

Directed by Celine Held and Logan George, the film combines Southern Gothic elements with psychological horror, creating a haunting atmosphere that pulls viewers into its dark, mysterious world.

The story revolves around the unexplained drowning of a young girl in the lake, sparking a series of unsettling events. Her family, struggling to cope with grief, soon discovers that the lake holds sinister secrets. As they unravel the mystery surrounding her death, they confront supernatural forces that seem tied to Caddo Lake's murky waters.

Caddo Lake State Park offers visitors a unique natural experience with its enchanting cypress trees draped in Spanish moss and winding waterways.

The film is praised for its tense, slow-burn approach, focusing more on mood and psychological depth than traditional jump scares. The directors effectively use the haunting beauty of the lake, with its moss-covered cypress trees and still waters, to create a sense of unease throughout the film.

But the real life Caddo Lake State Park is known for its diverse wildlife, including alligators and over 200 bird species and popular activities like kayaking through the bayous, fishing, and hiking along scenic trails. It's a perfect destination for those seeking tranquility and a deep connection with nature.

The movie is out now on the Max streaming service. Let us know what you think about it!
