‘Caddo Lake’ Review: We Can't Tell You Anything About ‘Caddo Lake’

A review for the new Max movie "Caddo Lake," starring Dylan O'Brien, in which we can't tell you what it's about without spoiling it.

You’d buy a ticket and walk into a theater at any point in the film, stick around for the trailers and news reels and shorts, and then you’d watch another picture, and then maybe hang around to catch the first half of the movie you already saw the end of. This is all part of “Red Eye Syndrome,” named after a 2005 Wes Craven movie starring Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams, which pretends to be a romance in the first act, before revealing itself to be a thriller. In particular, Scanlen proves to be a great cinematic thinker: She spends a lot of the movie sussing out what’s happening inside her head, with little or no dialogue, and we can follow her whole thought patterns and come to the same conclusions she does.
