The Lodge


An incredibly atmospheric horror flick by the people who made Goodnight Mommy (which I actually didn't love). First and foremost, It's quite possibly the best performance by Riley Keough who plays a former cult member who's trying to return to normalcy and trying start a family. The kids, Jaeden Martell and Lia McHugh, also did a pretty solid job performance wise. The pacing is not for everyone, but it's very methodically slow that does give you an uneasy vibe throughout... especially after a certain event that happens early on. There are some obvious visual queues to Hereditary like the dollhouse, but I found this to be slightly better. They do an solid job showcasing cabin fever and isolationism and there's some nods to The Shining and The Thing in here that I enjoyed. I will say, if I had any complaints it would be some questionable logic the father does that makes you wonder. Overall, I really dug it, it's one of those horror movies that was tailor made for someone like me.
4.5/5

Brahms: The Boy II


Yet another useless sequel to a movie nobody asked for. It's pretty dull and predictable which is somehow worse that The Boy 1, which was hilariously awful. Katie Holmes and Owain Yeoman plays a couple who had to leave their own home and in turn finds the same house from the first movie and the son finds the doll. It runs through all the horror cliches like it's a prepackaged meal. They even have a groundskeeper Willie (played by Ralph Ineson) that warns the family. There is a shocking dumb twist at the end, but it's nowhere near as entertaining and dumb as the first one. Overall, it's turd in the wind.
1/5
 
For years I had a hour and a half version on VHS tape.....the version I watched today is 2 hours 18 minutes DVD.

The Photograph, started off pretty good then fizzled a bit. Loved watching Lakeith and Issa, but mostly Lakeith.
