Caddo Lake (2024): The Perfect Timeloop movie?

Some films explain themselves. They hold your hand through every turn, underline their twists, and make sure you never feel lost for longer than thirty seconds. They are perfectly fine films.

Host is a horror film shot entirely during the COVID-19 lockdown, set on Zoom, and running to just 56 minutes. All of which invites a reasonable suspicion: that what we’re dealing with is a novelty — a pandemic experiment held together by circumstance rather than craft.
