‘Caddo Lake’ Produced by M. Night Shyamalan Scores New Trailer

HBO’s upcoming original film Caddo Lake, produced by M. Night Shyamalan (Trap), has unveiled a new unnerving and intense trailer. Caddo Lake plays out against the haunting backdrop of the Southern bayou and back roads lined with cypress trees. It follows a series of past deaths and disappearances that come to light when an eight-year-old girl vanishes mysteriously. Long-buried truths and newly surfaced mysteries will forever alter the history of a broken family and those around them. It stars Eliza Scanlen, Dylan O’Brien, Diana Hopper, Caroline Falk, and Sam Hennings. Eric Lange and Lauren Ambrose round out the cast. The story’s inspiration was born from a single photograph discovered online of the real Caddo Lake, which filmmakers Celine Held and Logan George became captivated by. This led the two to make numerous visits to the cypress forest, which straddles the border of Texas and Louisiana, leading to the film being shot over 2021 and 2022 in and around the town

After years of anticipation, Gary Dauberman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot finally arrives on MAX this Halloween season.
