The Lodge (2008)

Posted in 2008



A young couple’s weekend getaway at a secluded mountain ranch becomes an unfathomable nightmare when they discover the truth about the caretaker.

This film raises questions about relationships that I’d like to touch upon (sorry, horror fans). We are clued in early on that the male lead plans on proposing to the female lead, and we have to give him credit for choosing a beautiful locale and a gorgeous woman. But yet, the constant fighting makes it clear they may not be ready for long term commitment. What is the message here? Are we saying that marriage proposals are good and can solve problems? Are we saying that stressful situations can draw people closer? As I often opine, didn’t “Speed” teach us anything? The biggest problem with “The Lodge” is the sheer blandness. While there is a fair level of success in creating a creepy atmosphere, at the same time we are rather limited because there are only three key characters. Unlike other horror films, no one can die here or the film has to end prematurely. So the suspense has to be drawn out as long as possible, which works at times and fails at others. Time is also filled with countless sex scenes that go nowhere (sorry, guys). And if you want gore, you’re not going to see much here (low body count equals low blood flow).
I found “The Lodge” to be enjoyable and watchable (which, these days, is more than I can say for many films). But there was nothing here I haven’t seen in a dozen other films. I give Deb Havener credit for the development but her plot writing needs work. For another story involving two people alone in a rented room, see “Vacancy”. The sheer intensity of that one makes “The Lodge” look like a Lifetime Network film.
