Netflix viewers are calling The Lodge one of the most ‘extremely disturbing’ and ‘darkest’ horror movies ever made.
Netflix is known for its chilling and intense content, with titles like Hellhole and Watcher gaining massive attention. But The Lodge has flown a bit under the radar, despite fans saying it’s a must-watch and absolutely spine-chilling.
The 2019 psychological horror has been praised for its strong performances, direction, screenplay, and overall terrifying atmosphere.
One fan said, “Must watch this slow-burning dark intense horror stuff, it’s remarkable.”
Another added, “This is up there with the great ones like Midsommar and Insidious.”
Others have noted, “This movie shows how horror can be terrifying without gore or explicit scenes. All it takes is a tense atmosphere and a disturbing mind.”
“This film is dark and very twisted,” said another viewer.
Critics have also lauded the movie. Kristy Strouse of Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying described it as “dark and dripping with stomach-turning dread, plus an incredible lead performance.”
Allen Almachar from The MacGuffin called the terror “slow and methodical, a dread that seeps into your bones and lingers like a bad memory.”
Directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, The Lodge stars Riley Keough, Jaeden Martell, Lia McHugh, Alicia Silverstone, and Richard Armitage. The story centers on a soon-to-be stepmother stranded at a rural lodge with her fiancé’s two children, where they face eerie events tied to her troubled past.
Fans have even named The Lodge one of the best horror movies of the last decade.
One viewer shared, “I love when horror movies catch me off guard. This one did that big time. Very dark, atmospheric, unsettling, shocking, and unpredictable.”
Another agreed, “Hell yeah. Such a good movie! It stuck with me for a long time.”
