Click here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/B6UwL9ET-ao _The Lodge_ is a 2019 movie directed by the same duo that made the most excellent German language film _Goodnight Mommy_ which rates as one of my favourite movies of recent years. So how do they go with this English language horror thriller? Well first of all, let’s hear what _The Lodge_ is about: _When a father is forced to abruptly depart for work, he leaves his children at their holiday home in the care of his new girlfriend, Grace. Isolated and alone, a blizzard traps them inside the lodge as terrifying events summon specters from Grace's dark past._ This movie suuuuuuuuucks. It drags, it's boring, and the ultimate explanation of everything relied on such a stretch of the imagination that it made me chuckle. About an hour in, not much had really happened, we hadn't really learned anything new about the characters, and there's so much telegraphing that when all the stuff starts going down, none of it is a surprise. This is mediocrity at its finest, and I'm kinda annoyed that I paid actual money to rent this on YouTube.

I find it frustrating that so many people don't value this genre as much as the others, especially since the general public usually tends to like the more generic narratives, filled with predictable jump scares, and dull stories. Nothing against that, obviously, anyone can like whatever they want! However, when comparing with other genres, horror feels like an outsider, only truly followed by a specific group of people, even though it's been admittedly growing in the last few years. I didn't expect much from The Lodge, which probably helped me enjoy it as much as I did since it's one of the favorite movies of 2020 so far. It's undoubtedly the least formulaic horror flick in quite a while. It features ingredients that, however, audiences are not that fond of: visual storytelling, slow pace, and almost zero jump scares. The first is incredibly captivating not only due to the clever framing and mise-en-scène but also because the dark atmosphere fills th

'The Lodge' wants so badly to be considered a highbrow horror film, but it forgets completely to try and be compelling, riding on flimsy attempts at a creepy tone and calling it a day. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-lodge-an-insult-to-the-horror-movie-genre
