Los Horrores de Caddo Lake

Honestly, I haven't felt like this about a movie in a long time. The cinematography is gorgeous, scenery is beautiful and the characters are quite captivating and interesting. I wish movies like these would go out on big screens and not on streaming platforms. Still, that doesn't take away the artistry from it.

All of the actors were amazing, the casting is brilliant. It build up slowly which I liked because the atmosphere of it was wonderful. Without spoiling anything or without even writing what is it about, I think its a very well made mystery movie with great story and plot twists.

All in all, interesting and beautiful.

I thought it was a nice movie! And I might watch it a second time to see if I missed anything. Don't read spoilers for the best way of viewing!

It starts slow, but the story builds up nicely and the writers made clever decisions. At a certain point I made some wild guesses about where the story was moving towards. And while I was wrong, the things that made me make those wild guesses were immediately answered in the film. In the end the story wraps up perfectly and doesn't leave any big parts open or unanswered. That's always a nice thing, if you ask me.

Acting is mostly great and the special effects were fine. The music did not leave a lasting effect, but it worked ok.

I went into this knowing nothing about this movie, except the genre. I am glad that that was the case! I had no expectations and was able to just let the plot unfold and experience the discovery right along with the protagonists. I really enjoyed it. If it's not too late, I'd recommend not reading the plot summary or any detailed reviews before watching.

It starts out feeling a bit like a family drama but pay attention because sprinkled throughout are little plot supporting elements. You might even reach a point where you'll be wondering just what in the world is going on. Don't worry... it's all explained fairly neatly before it's done. Just hang in there!

I went in knowing nothing and I think it's better if you do so. But it's also difficult to get past the very slow set up. The first 1/4 of the movie, nothing is happening and it feels pretty boring.... and while stuff starts happening at that point, it's only halfway through that the movie really becomes interesting. But when it does, it's so worth it. I understand the build up is essential and necessary for the rest of the movie to work but I still think they could have done it with a better pacing; and if they had managed that, I would probably give this movie an 8/10. And for a movie with no big name actors, they are all doing a great job. Highly recommended!

Rare is the movie that motivates me to see it again right away to understand what I had just watched. Caddo Lake is such a case. In the first viewing, I ended up totally confused, but with some understanding of what was going on from the last part of the movie. So I decided to watch it again an hour later to understand the whole story, and then every scene from the start made sense within the film plot.

The twists and turns of this movie make you pay attention to every detail throughout the hour and a half of its duration, which is not common in movies nowadays. So kudos to the two screenwriters and directors.
