The Lodge is one of my most highly anticipated movies of 2020. After the incredible Goodnight Mommy, a chilling and unsettling thriller out of Austria, I could not wait to see the English language follow up by filmmaking duo, Veronkia Franz and Severin Fiala. And oh, damn. The Lodge is …

Uber producer Ant Timpson has already gifted us with so many genre favorites like Turbo Kid, The Greasy Strangler, Deathgasm, The ABCs of Death, and The Field Guide to Evil. So when it was announced that he was going to direct his first feature, you can only imagine the excitement …
