Review of The Lodge (2020) by Aynks — 23 Feb 2020
This is mediocre at best. I find the screenplay to be rather bland with some pretty cringy director moves. This is not a horror film. If you came to get scared, do not bother buying a ticket. This is a pure psychological thriller movie that leaves your head on a swivel on multiple occasions.
Although there are many instances where you are thinking a scare will come, it never happens. The plot seems redundant, with some easily recognizable outcomes to surface while the character development seems to draw blank about 30 minutes in.
This movie is also ver boring even though it was suppose to show suspense most of the time. The acting and cast seemed to be one of the weaker parts to the film. With Keough taking majority of the film, I thought she did great.
The rest however, not so good. The rest of the cast seem to lack development and do not provide a chemistry that is needed for a film that has this small of a cast. There is only 4 main characters throughout the entirety of the film because most of it is at the Lodge.
The cinematography is good. There were some interesting shots with the snow that enhanced the thriller aspect that is not normally seen in this category, which was enjoyable. There is a balance of good and bad, but I do not see the light at the end of the tunnel for this one.
Not too bright. This is a film that is beyond predictable, with mediocre screenplay, and below average acting. In the end, cinematography can't save everything. The Lodge is definitely a movie that you wanna see once and never ever ever again.
