Critics Consensus

Led by an impressive Riley Keough performance, The Lodge should prove a suitably unsettling destination for fans of darkly atmospheric horror.

For once I agree more with the critics than the audience: this film is better than its (very limited) commercial success suggests. The story of a soon-to-be stepmom who gets snowed in with her soon-to-be stepchildren doesn't give away its solution till the end...and keeps surprising even after that. The movie also offers -shall we say- unexpected events, not just jump scares, and all three major characters do a fine job in the acting department.

This movie was very intense. Its not like a lot of cookie cutter horror movies. It makes you think constantly and question what you are seeing. Definitely a new spin on a story. It made me want to give my infants a big kiss when I got home because of how it ends. Dont see if you dont like thinking while watching a movie.

Perfectly paced, each film places viewers in purgatory along with the protagonists.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Keough's work is so strong, so effective, that by the time we learn the ultimate fate of Grace, we would have bought into any of the possible options.

Rated: 3.5/4

Chandler Levack

Globe and Mail

While The Lodge isn't as hearty as the horror films it desperately wants to emulate, the filmmakers have concocted a heavy stew of emotions, left on a low simmer.

With deserved confidence, this salutary tale takes its characters well beyond the point of no return.

Vague Visages

Franz and Fiala scale down Kubrick's more expansive vision, and the result offers its own kind of skin-crawling satisfaction.

MSB Reviews

This atmospheric horror flick is elevated by its outstanding technical attributes, especially Thimios Bakatakis’ bizarre cinematography, as well as the claustrophobic production design. Impressive lead performance from Riley Keough.
