Back to Podcast EpisodesThe Lodge (2019) Review
The Lodge is a movie that is heavy in tone and aesthetic, that went to great lengths to disguise the danger and keep the audience guessing as to what or who may be behind the nefarious details of the story.
Synopsis
The Lodge is a story of two families, both with a tragic past that meet to determine who has it worse.
We have the Hall family, who are a fractured family of four, father Richard (Richard Armitage), mother Laura (Alicia Silverstone), older son Aiden (Jaeden Martell), and younger daughter Mia (Lia McHugh). Laura and Richard have clearly been taking a long break from their marriage and this has treated Laura much worse than it has Richard.
We also have Grace (Riley Keough), who is the only surviving member of a now dead, death cult which just so happened to be led by her father.
Needless to say, both of these families have their fair share of problems.
As the story unravels, the audience is left guessing as to what and where the danger may be coming from, but the tension is undeniable.
