Chris D

Probably the least convincing twist, no operation could completely change someone like that, should have cast someone who had at least a bit of resemblance, age, build etc. A weak film overall

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

It creaks at times, but, crucially, it never takes itself too seriously.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

There's something primally satisfying about the episodic structure, a narrative pattern that after all goes back to Chaucer.

Rated: 3/5

Empire Magazine

Less Tales Of The Unexpected, more Tales Of The Unconvincing, this uneven comedy horror fails to handle its ambitious structure, or deliver on its promising premise.

Rated: 2/5

Ready Steady Cut

A portmanteau horror film from first-time feature writer/director Abigail Blackmore: well made and acted, but doesn't hang together as well as one might hope.

Rated: 2.5/5

VultureHound

A rather tedious story of some talented comedy performers being locked in a grimy little cabin, desperately in search of something worthwhile to do.

Rated: 2/5

Tales from the Lodge has a lot of unique anthology stories within, however the ending is a gross exploitation that simply is inexcusable in this time.
