Caddo Lake - Movie Review

[@DFTBA221B]

I've been rooting for Dylan O'Brien since his Teen Wolf days, he was a mad talent even then. Love seeing him get work, and I agree with Chris, I think he's got the skill to make it as a mega-star if the right project comes along.

[@melvinjoseph952]

It actually might've been my least favourite O'Brien performance, he never looked quite comfortable in that role, and that accent sounded amateurish It looked particularly bad when Johnny Flynn (someone who's not only British, but had never even done an American accent before) completely outshined him

[@ashmenon6543]

he was great in American Assasin as well.

I’m so so SO glad he gave Dylan his flowers, I 100% agree. I still wish he had played Spiderman in something.

[@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme]

You do know Chris didnt like the movie, right? Thats why he didnt review it because he doesnt want to talk trash about garbage movies. He is that ``honest``. He will see a lot of movies, but he will talk only about those he likes, disresecting his audience which deserves to hear his opinion on all kinds of movies. But, on the other habd, him not reviewing a movie it`s the same thing as reviewing and saying it`s bad because we know that he avoids reviewing a movie he thinks that movie it`s bad. As other people already said, he is a sellout, a spineless man, doenst have the balls to talk about movies fearing he will upset people in Hollywood of which he is not a part of. He lost all credibility and respect of smart people.

How has Chris never reviewed "Dark" series, it is one of the most original best tv shows of all time, and this movie is a tribute to that show

[@superspidersam9005]

Tribute is a bit of an understatement. It straight up takes the best ideas of dark and puts them into a different setting. Still had a great time though. It’s a good movie, just not entirely original.

[@-Arkin33]

I just watched it, and I'm fairly picky about the movies I watch. And now, while Dylan O'Brien is one of those actors that I will watch anything he's in, just because he's in it. So yes, this is definitely a case of, I saw Dylan O'Brien so I clicked. But I went into this movie genuinely thinking one thing. Went in thinking I'd like it but basically that would be it. My mind was absolutely blown. Every assumption and expectation flipped right on it's head. And this is without a doubt one of the best movies I've ever seen. Hands down. And yes it is in large part because of Dylans performance, but if anyone knows anything about that man, it's that he can absolutely carry a movie (or an entire TV series for that matter. We all know what I'm talking about don't play with me). But this really turned into one of those movies, where I sat down for the lead and literally stayed for the movie itself, the story, the theme, the concept. The everything. I'm still sort of in shock, can't exactly organize my thoughts... but to say phenomenal movie. And EVERYONE should definitely check it out, literally whether you follow Dylan O'Briens work or not. Just watch it, you will not regret it at all.

[@sieyon]

i see Dylan O'Brien .. i watch ... that simple

I just watched this the other night and I was blown away. I don't always click with Chris' take on movies, but for this one I agree 100%. I kind of loved this movie. The way all the pieces come together in the end, even though it's dripping in tragedy was amazing. I haven't had a film make me feel like I had to work my way though a really tight mystery in forever and this one nailed it. I don't think this movie is getting the acclaim it deserves, but this is going to be a huge cult classic.

[@avens1981]

I started watching this review, then quickly paused and watched the film the fillowing day. So glad I went into this blind. Been a long time since a film surprised me and kept me engaged without spoonfeeding me the plot. This movie allowed the mystery to develop and the payoff was worth it. 2 scenes gave me goosebumps. Dylan is a great actor.

[@bigbaddwolf90]

Dylan O'Brian had me in Teen Wolf. I've always thought he was amazing. Can't wait ti watch this.

[@Nashmirotic]

I just watched this film and I LOVED IT!!!!! Dylan is that guy. He has the range and sometimes I wonder if he purposefully chooses less mainstream films because he has been through the big mainstream franchise and I think he said he did not have a good experience with that.

[@pianoluver1222]

I just finished the movie, I really enjoyed it. I love Southern supernatural, gothic, thriller, horror. I think for me, there’s very little rewatch-ability because my husband and I called the “twist” in the middle of the movie. The clues were laid out pretty clearly, and once a certain phrase comes out of a character’s mouth, it clicked for us. We both looked at each other and basically predicted the entire plot from beginning to end, which ended up being true. It’s not a “Sixth Sense” twist at the end very end and now you want to rewatch to catch the clues. At least that’s how it was for me (not speaking for everyone). Besides that critique, the acting was stellar and the atmosphere was so spooky. It’s a good October watch!

[@blazenhearts]

i totally agree with everything you said about the pacing and the lack of spoonfeeding. though it was slower than things tend to be now, it still had me hooked from the very beginning. i'll be honest that i only watched this movie because dylan o'brien was in it, but even if i hadn't been a fan of him this movie was truly incredible. i loved the dynamics between each of the characters and the minimal exposition made it really feel like we were peering into a moment of time as the characters themselves were seeing it. i thought the twists and ending were easy to follow if you payed attention. and ive never watched to discuss a movies little detail as much as this one. also i love that you kept your review vague, going in with minimal knowledge really makes this movie a whole new level of interesting.

I've watched in some time , and just like you said… I actually found myself working my way through the scenarios and thought damn… They did this very clean. Usually movies that venture into the realm they played with leave me unsatisfied at the end. I thought they did a clean job for the viewer and for the characters. I'm kind of an M night, fanboy accidentally, so finding out in your video that he produced it, and hasn't produced someone outside of his own family movie since the devil definitely points to why I noticed this golden lighting shining through even after I finish the movie.
