The Lodge (2019)
7/10
WEIRD...HAUNTING...DISTURBING...PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
1 September 2021
Two Children Still Suffering from the very Disturbing Loss of Their Mother are Cooped Up in an Isolated "Lodge" with Their New Step-Mother During a Snowstorm.

The Step-Mother, who by the way, is Blamed by the Children as the Reason They Lost Their Mom.

She is also a Traumatized Victim of Her Father, a Religious Cult Leader who Led His Flock to Mass Suicide, She was the Only Survivor.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Well as You might have Guessed, Quite a Lot.

The Movie is Atmospheric and Frightful, Disturbing and Gets in Your Brain and Under Your Skin,

The Suspense is nearly Unbearable and Unrelenting, and all Three Actors Deliver Cutting Performances while Spinning the "What is Real and What is Not" Scenario.

More Thriller than Horror, but the "Supernatural" Plays a Significant Part in the Unfolding Plot as the Characters are Coming Unglued from Stability.

The Movie-Makers take No Prisoners with Regards to Shock and Unsettling Occurrences with Chilling Developments and a Stone-Cold, Depressing Tone.

Not a Must-See and Not for Everyone.

But those who Like Their Scary Movies Anchored Internally with Psychological Abnormalities that can Cause Disheveling Behavior...

This one comes with a Strong Recommendation.
