Max has been betting on thrillers recently, especially those in the horror genre. That’s why he developed “Cabbo Lake” alongside two great talents: Dylan O’Brien (Teen Wolf and The Maze Runner) and Eliza Scanlen (Little Women).

The film was written and directed by Celine Held and Logan George, promising an atmosphere full of suspense. Along with the lead stars, the cast includes Diana Hopper, Sam Hennings, Eric Lange and Lauren Ambrose, among others.

The title will be an ideal choice to watch on Halloween, as it is scheduled to debut on October 10th of this year. Without a doubt, it will be one of the most disturbing works inspired by a real location.

Is Caddo Lake based on a true story?

The upcoming Max movie, “Caddo Lake“, is not based on real events or a book, but it is inspired by the eerie setting of Caddo Lake, a naturally mysterious place known for its ghostly beauty, according to GeekTyrant.

The plot plays with multiple elements of psychological tension and chilling coincidences, which are unique to the thriller style carried out by the master M. Night Shyamalan, who serves as producer (The Sixth Sense and Trap).
