The Lodge (2008)

The Lodge: Directed by Brad Helmink, John Rauschelbach. With Kevin McClatchy, Elizabeth Kell, Owen Szabo, Mandi Kreisher. A young couple’s weekend getaway at a secluded mountain ranch becomes an unfathomable nightmare when they discover the truth about the caretaker.

“While staying at a remote countryside lodge, a man and his girlfriendu0026#39;s planned weekend of carefree sex is halted when they learn the mysterious handyman has more on his mind than fixing up the place and must escape from his murderous clutches.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePredictable, barely worthwhile effort that has pretty much everything weu0026#39;ve seen in these types of films before and nothing at all new or original to this. It plays out pretty much as we expect it to, the ignoring of the obvious signs to continue on partying, the failure to recognize when theyu0026#39;re in danger, and most of all it takes about an hour before he snaps and turns psycho, so thereu0026#39;s nothing at all thatu0026#39;s going on for the majority of the movie before the ending, which instead of dealing out torture, revolves around chasing, beating and running away, leaving little blood and gore involved as well. Still, this couldu0026#39;ve been quite fine, with a fine setting and some sleaze that had the finale chasing around the compound been a bit more enjoyable. A major letdown in most regards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.”
