As the holiday season approaches, my heart fills with anticipation for one of my favorite traditions – the holiday movie marathon. Throughout the month of December, my cinematic journey takes me through a delightful spectrum of films, from the quirky to the scary, from heartwarming family tales to the most festive and joyful of stories. Join me as I traverse this cinematic landscape, immersing myself in the magic of the holiday season, one film at a time. It’s a journey that encompasses every emotion, from laughter to fear to the purest of holiday cheer, and I can’t wait to share it with you. So, let the holiday movie extravaganza begin!

The Review

“The Lodge” (2020), directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz, is a psychological horror film that takes a haunting dive into the eerie depths of isolation during the holiday season. This atmospheric and chilling movie weaves a narrative of suspense and psychological terror, offering a stark departure from the typical festive fare.

The story unfolds as a family retreats to a remote lodge for Christmas, seeking solace and a chance at reconciliation. However, what starts as an attempt at familial healing soon devolves into a nightmarish sequence of events. The film explores themes of grief, trauma, and the unraveling of sanity, creating an unsettling and tense atmosphere throughout.

Riley Keough delivers a captivating performance as Grace, a young woman with a traumatic past, who finds herself trapped in the isolated lodge with her fiancé’s children. The film builds tension through its slow-paced narrative, atmospheric cinematography, and a sense of dread that intensifies with every passing moment.

In conclusion, “The Lodge” is a Christmas movie that stands apart from the cheerful and heartwarming narratives often associated with the holiday season. Its psychological horror elements, coupled with a gripping performance by Riley Keough, make it a compelling watch for those seeking a darker and more intense cinematic experience. With the addition of the Little Snowy Cabin to your holiday decorations, you can infuse a sense of foreboding mystery into your festive ambiance, creating an unconventional and memorable holiday atmosphere.
