Tales From The Lodge is a fresh take on the portmanteau horror-comedy genre. An isolated lodge somewhere in England. Five old university pals, now nudging 40, gather for a weekend to scatter the ashes of their friend, Jonesy, who drowned himself in the lake three years earlier. They settle in for a fun evening, entertaining each other with stories of murders, ghosts, zombies and possessions, but as day turns to night, the gang become aware of another horror story unfolding around them - And this one is real. Written by Hook Pictures
This bonkers blend of dark humour and over the top horror almost works. It never takes itself too seriously and is quite original at least. Provided you take it with a huge pinch of salt and accept the limitations of its tiny budget, it should entertain those with an off beat sense of humour.
