The Lodge sees a couple’s quiet weekend break turn into a nightmarish fight for survival – think a low-budget The Shining meets The People Under the Stairs by way of Hostel and you’ll be somewhere close. The film follows Michael (Szabo) and Julia (Kell), who are staying at a secluded lodge on a weekend away. The pair discover that they are not alone when they encounter caretaker Henry (McClatchy).
