It is, however, strange that the Wolf Man was

From Producer M. Night Shyamalan Comes the Max Original Thriller ‘Caddo Lake’

This October, the Max Original film Caddo Lake, from producer M.

Caddo Lake plays out against the haunting but stunning 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.

The thriller features a talented cast
