What to Expect

What happens to a family when the critically influential matriarch suddenly leaves it to its own devices? Bundle up, because The Lodge is sure to show you just how horrifying isolation in the dead of winter can get. Proving itself to be a stunning exploration of the human psyche, it begs the question: how faithful is our empathy, when our moral compass has gone?

After their beloved mother’s death, Aidan and Mia struggle to maintain normalcy. Just six months after she passes away, they are stuck in their family’s remote lodge with their soon-to-be stepmother, Grace, where their father has left them while he works in the city. In a film heavily influenced by Hereditary, from the tight cinematic shots to the dollhouse to the examination of grief, what looks like it could have been part of an anthology for an Ari Aster masterpiece turned out to be a narrative that was shocking in its own distinguishing way.< Read more...

Movie Review: The Lodge (2019) ReviewHorror Lists: No Happy Endings

Critic Reviews:

Despite its visual flair and unrelentingly taut atmosphere, “The Lodge” is more successful in sustaining unease — like the eerie, unexplained shots of a spooky dollhouse — than in building a convincing narrative.

– The New York Times

It’s a gorgeous film, a dim, grey-blue dream in stark contrast to the warm golds and greens of Goodnight Mommy. The performances are all terrific, from Silverstone’s small but unforgettable role to Keough’s otherworldly fragility. The kids are astonishingly good, natural and lived-in, occasionally quite devastating.

– Bloody Disgusting

The restraint of Franz and Fiala in refusing to indulge in the usual jump scares and jarring sound effects is admirable in theory, but this is a movie that could have used more aggressive assaults on our nerves as it builds to its gruesome climax, with another cold dispatch to mirror the brutal blow of the opening.
