La cabaña siniestra está bien rodada técnicamente (el director de fotografía Thimios Bakatakis es un maestro), tiene una buena atmósfera de terror, un escenario gratificante de un páramo nevado y funciona bien con la construcción de la tensión. Sin embargo, la trama es bastante transparente, y podemos desentrañar el misterio que lleva al giro argumental con bastante rapidez. La verdad es que no me ha molestado mucho, salvo que quizá no tiene mucho sentido lo que se supone que se ha conseguido con el terror psicológico y por qué no se han pensado las probables consecuencias, pero no quiero ahondar demasiado en ello y desde luego no quiero entrar en espóileres. Disfruté de la película, está rodada con mucho arte y Riley Keough, en particular, está fenomenal aquí: simpática y aterradora al mismo tiempo. Definitivamente puedo recomendar esta película de terror. [KVIFF 2019]

Esta película es más un thriller con elementos de terror, no es una película de terror pura. Una prometedora historia psicológica, ambientada en el límite de la realidad, los sueños y las alucinaciones, tiene un comienzo lento, seguido de un juego que cambia gradualmente con anticipación, para llegar a una conclusión misteriosa o de terror. Sin embargo, el desenlace es sorprendentemente racional y se basa en la realidad, proyectando así una sombra de dudas sobre las numerosas coincidencias y momentos inverosímiles ocurridos durante la película y que jugaron las cartas de sus protagonistas. Definitivamente la película impresiona por su atmósfera, por sus actuaciones y por generar dudas e incertidumbre, sin embargo, su punto no es lo suficientemente satisfactorio para redimir la espera.

I have only one problem with The Lodge and it’s very similar to the one I had with the directorial début of the duo Franz-Fiala, Goodnight Mommy, I also found it predictable. Though not after five minutes, like the previous one, but somewhere around the middle, at most, it was already clear what was happening and where it was going. And again, I’m not entirely sure whether the directors expect that the viewer already suspects the point (some of the clues are way too obvious!), or the way the cards are shown in the end is really meant as a surprise. Nevertheless, it is better than the previous film conceptually, and the horror aspect also works better; for most of the run, the psycho-horror-winter atmosphere is firing on all cylinders. On the other hand, the uncompromising fifteen minutes in the end are worth five stars. I enjoyed it, but for the next film I would like the directors to either bluff a little more ingeniously or to show their cards right from the beginning :) #KVIFF2019

After a year's wait, the anticipated The Lodge is finally available and it is, as expected, decent psychological terror. Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala serve up a similarly tuned film to their debut Goodnight Mommy that is is also close to Hereditary, so if you didn't like either of the aforementioned, you're out of luck. The film moves forward at a slow pace, playing a paranoid, chilling psychological game with the viewer that works solidly, especially in the last 40 minutes. It feels very intimate, but the atmosphere, the chilly setting and the performances are all very decent. It's more of a psychological thriller with horror elements, which is welcome in the current horror crisis, but I reckon quite a few viewers will be grumbling. Story****, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere****, Suspense***. 7/10.

Artificial, that’s the first word that comes to mind when thinking about The Lodge. From the plot to the characters to the atmosphere – perhaps it’s well made and interestingly escalated, but it couldn’t be more artificial. Every good idea is followed by several dull shots that only serve to extend the runtime without moving anything forward – compared with The Shining (with which it has several similarities), it’s very weak. But Riley Keough was very good again. 60%

From the duo Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz one could expect something similar to Goodnight Mommy and one should go into this film with that in mind. I would divide The Lodge into three parts. In the first one you will moan and yawn with boredom, at the revelation of what's going on you will sit down and slowly sink into the film, and at the end you will sigh with very mixed feelings at most, with one side of you head spinning: "Was that like everything?" and on the other with a very deep feeling of "Wow". A very good idea, just a bit insufficiently delivered, as after the first hour the film hardly gets you into the engaged mode of enjoying the rest to the fullest. The denouement is shocking, the music and the atmosphere are at times creepy, and the ending would have been great too, except that the whole first part is so unattractive and uninteresting that the final twenty minutes hardly saves it... But damn, this is going to be drilling in my head for a long time, I can't shake the feeling that some scenes are quality filmmaking and exactly my cup of tea.
