Os Horrores do 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 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!

Now this may not be a great movie but it's definitely a good one. And once all is revealed highly original. I did guess it before ( after a couple of clues ) I knew the whole story but that didn't ruin the good twists toward the end. Two stories run parallel to each other and both get better and better. As many have said the movie starts of slow and uninteresting. During the first half hour my wife kept asking me what the heck the movie is about but after a couple of plot reveals the story tightens and weaves to come together in the end. O'Brian as always does a good job and is helped by an earnest supporting cast. Pacing also picks up in the second half. As aforementioned stick with it and you should enjoy it as much as we did.

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!

While the story progresses slowly it's never dull or boring, the slow burn builds mystery and maybe even a little confusion. Towards the middle it all starts to come together and it just gets better and better. Dylan's performance is spot on and in general all the acting was really good. It was not scary, it was mysterious and more of a thriller. The visuals were great, enough that it should have had a premier in the movie theater.

Overall if you like mystery this is definitely a must watch, very entertaining and enjoyable. The story is really good and I didn't look into what people were saying it was based on but maybe that's a good thing. I doubt they copied anything but maybe they based it off a previous movie.
