Hamid Antonio Castro

Hamid Antonio Castro, yeah, the guy behind Lake George (2025)—that film’s got a vibe all its own. So, there’s this little lakeside town, right? Looks all peaceful from the outside, but dig a little deeper and it’s just crawling with old secrets and grudges that never really died. The main character, Elena, comes back after years away, thinking she’s just gonna sort through her late dad’s stuff and bounce. Nope. Turns out, everyone in town’s got some beef with her family, and it’s not just small-town gossip. We’re talking shady land deals, relationships that went sideways, and a disappearance that nobody ever solved. People keep showing up at the lake house—some helpful, most not so much. Elena’s cousin Amir is acting weird, too, like he’s hiding something big. The lake itself isn’t just for swimming and fishing, either; there’s this whole legend about something—or someone—in those waters. The tension ramps up fast, with weird stuff happening at night and old friends turning into suspects. By the time Elena figures out what’s really going on, you’re not sure if the real danger is the people or whatever’s lurking out on the lake. The film’s got this slow-burn suspense, with gorgeous shots of the water that look almost too calm. Castro really leans into that sense of isolation—you start to wonder if anyone’s actually telling the truth. Not your typical thriller, more like a puzzle you’re piecing together right alongside Elena, and every answer just brings more questions.
