Reviews: The Lodge (2020)

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …the film’s themes of Christian guilt don’t amount to much in the end, its climax more of a been-there, done-that deflation. “The Lodge” gets more mileage out of a creepy bowl of sea monkeys in a clear case of style over substance.
Karl Delossantos @
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: The filmmakers know how to set a mood, and while the story is engaging in the moment, especially with Riley Keough’s performance, it doesn’t have much lasting impact.
Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘The Lodge’ is a chilling thriller that tests a family’s sanity when they’re stranded in a snowstorm with no supplies and someone with malicious intent.
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: When horror movies appeal to our psychological fears, they can be fascinating.
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: This exasperating movie is so obnoxious it could be deliberately trolling us. Wants to have its ambiguous cake and eat it, too, smothered in a gloomy frosting. *extremely pinches nose in despair*
[New] | Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: While not quite up to Hammer’s LET ME IN or THE WOMAN IN BLACK, it has its moments.
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: See this movie and prepare for it to mess you up.
Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: I imagine becoming a stepparent is difficult. Especially when the kids hate you, you’re snowed in alone at a remote cabin, and you’re the lone survivor of a doomsday cult.
Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: It’s less about leading us down one road to pull the rug and expose a second than carefully traversing multiple forks in tandem to show how they can all be true simultaneously.
Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: It’s a shame the film ultimately has little else to offer beyond its slow-burn eeriness and psychological chills.
Matt Oakes @
- Excerpt: Led by a strikingly gloomy performance from Riley Keough, ‘The Lodge’ uses the power of psychological warfare and brutal natural elements to spook up a dark cabin fever horror story that refuses to let up.
