Got memed into watching this

It was fine, but is it just me or was the husband a fucking retard? Who leaves their kids in a remote lodge during the winter alone with an ex death cult member after their mom blew her brains out? The ending left much to be desired. It's like, oh lets cut to credits we don't have the balls to show her shoot the kids. So I predicted it would be the ex cult bitch gettin' nuts up in here and killing everyone, the journey to that was creepy but ultimately kinda meh. Am I a retard in that opinion? please let me know

its stigmatises christian people and people with mental illness

i guess it was okay but yeah a lot did not make sense and was retarded

Her husband was fucking retarded. I think that's part of the horror going experience - he shouldn't have left his kids up there. He should never have been with that girl in the first place.

I have no hatred for the ex cult victim or sympathy for the kids I wish I got to see them get shot after the dog froze to death and the little girl crying about how they did it for their mom.

It's really a movie about how little kids and dads that don't hit their sons can all be evil at worse and dangerously stupid at best.

I will say the ex wife blowing her brains out surprised me, and the the whole mood was pretty depressing and had my attention. I just feel like it went nowhere interesting.

so did all their shit get hidden by the sleep walking ex cult bitch or did the kids do it all or was it a little bit of both? I guess it doesn't matter.

Jaeden Martell is relentlessly handsome.

This is actually quite a good description of the film imo. Armitage's actions were pretty fucking retarded, not to mention you'd think after no contact for even a day he would get worried especially since he KNOWS his kids dont want to be with her. Maybe it wouldve made more sense if he was a bit more of a hardass dad with the mentality that they were gonna like his new waifu no matter what but they didnt fucking do that did they so he's just a retard now lol nice

During my watch I was thinking maybe it was his plan to have his kids eliminated or something, because I was like, there is no way he's this retarded is there?

The kids drugged her, and hid all the stuff while she slept.

The kids did it all after the mom killed herself on her own and they blamed her because they did not want to deal with the fact the dad moved on

They find out from the mom the dad's new girl was a patient or something from his book about her experience as a victim of a cult

They find videos of the cult and try to emulate and use it to fuck with her and drive her crazy the kid convinced her after the whole movie she and them were already dead and in purgatory they his her shot and let her dog freeze to death at the end when she would not come inside they got scared and told her the truth but she had broken and got a gun cont?

She was entirely justified in my opinion since she was a victim of the cult and now these fucking punk kids

I literally just watched it

You are a pedophile faggot who's entire world view is to be ignored and probably are a literal creature to be seen

The father insists on marrying this woman even AFTER his wife blows her brains out, and the children are traumatized by it. The father isn't a caring or rational man at all. He's selfish, and doesn't care if he hears from them or not.

Yeah I just watched it too, but I wasn't sure how much of it she was hallucinating and how much was really happening, like when the boy was hanging himself.

I actually thought the dad was in on it somehow too and it was going to be a weird twist where he did everything he did to get the mother to kill herself as well

pretty retarded for spoiling it, yes

He literally tells her he did not really do it when he tries to get her to come in.

Whilst I agree with you I don't feel these were the intentions of the filmmakers behind the movie

I think it was supposed to be a bungee rope, which is also kinda retarded now that I'm analysing it

Yeah it seems to elaborate for them to have done so I was thinking it was an hallucination. I figured they just faked the paper of their deaths and moved shit. Now that I think about it, those little fucker deserved what they got.

I don't agree as a child of divorce

The father had a long time relationship with this women the parent shad been divorced for what seemed like years and the mother was unstable again the father seemes like a bad parent but not for that reason

The fact the son and daughter projected their hate toward the new women instead of their father and the fact he did not respect his father enough to not try to push this women to suicide or close to it is a symptom of being soft on him and not explaining the mental issue his mother must of had and or the selfishness of suicide

Nah I think it's believable that the kids would lash out at the "homewrecker" that got their "mom killed" or whatever. It just ultimately ended in an underwhelming finale.

user I think you're projecting quite a lot here. I think the kids were just hating on the new waifu since they blamed their mums death on her. I think we're supposed to assume the dad would never suspect such a horrific things to happen. Which is maybe kind of an oversight considering the inciting incident is his wife offing herself.

But anyway, it's really the mum that is the bad parent for cowardly abandoning her kids like that. Maybe she knew though...

Somewhat unrelated, but can we talk about why horror physical media artwork is such shit now?

It is believable and therefore the fact the father did nothing to address this is what makes him a bad father

The fact he even allowed the kids to believe anyone was responsible besides their selfish mother is his fault and not at all for moving on again he was soft on the boy for him to have a malicious streak in him that sadistic and to ignore any fear of consequences for what would ultimately happen

To out it short the son needed to get beat a taught to be a fucking man and both kids need to know their mother was the one who was wrong and the father's anger should super cede all

Again I grew up without a father from divorce and he made a new family

"dad would never suspect such a horrific thing to happen"

> dates an ex-cultist
> ex-wife blows her brains out
> daughter has a doll house with disturbing death layouts

gee, how could he not have seen it coming?

Not the original poster there, just defending their analysis.

You repeated my point back really

The kids should never of had resentment of someone else even weeks after the event of the father properly framed suicide and what their mothers real actions were

The way the daughter screamed about her not going to heaven as well is straight abuse for the father not to add context to that understanding in anyway possible.

This

The dad wrote a book or some sort about the girl or with her in it and we are lead to believe it's about her past since that's how the kids found out.

Idk of they meant for the movie to make me hate the kids and want them to get what they deserved but it sure as fuck did

can you niggers read? I already agreed with you on the points your making which is maybe why your little brain is computing it as "repeating them back to you", but as I said in my other post I genuinely don't believe the filmmakers intended any of these things to come across. As pointed out by several people in this thread already, the movie was quite good from an atmospheric level but it was the logical inconsistencies in character motivations/actions that really brought it down. Superimposing your life blogs onto the movie doesn't suddenly make shit writing not shit.

Also you don't quote my post out of context. If you're gonna refute my point then don't distort what it was. I clearly said this was on oversight by the directors in the very next sentence after the one you quoted me on. Fucking donkey.

well the movie was 100% devoted to the ex cult girlfriend's point of view and her psychosis not he kids planning anything, we had to piece that together ourselves. and it's not clrea what was hallucination and what they really did. what we know 100% is the father is a retard

Quotes from the writer/directors:

FIALA: I think [The Lodge] is about trauma, dealing with the past. I think we have the feeling that every one of those characters has lots of things to deal with that they might not have overcome, but they want it to appear that they’ve overcome.

also

FRANZ: We also like not explaining everything because we think it’s nice to talk after the movie has ended about the questions or thoughts you have. If you’re honest, everyone sees a different movie anyway. The more formal it is, the less it is.

His analysis is just as valid as yours, and there's enough evidence in the film to support his and mine.

We are discussing this movie post watching it bud

I knew and it was suggested from the top the kids would be in on it

The first 15-20 minutes is of the mom and kids and then them telling their dad they don't want to be around her before the mom even killed herself and then looking up the cult she was in ALL before we see the bitches face.

Then the super cuts to focus on the pills the literal recording/fake hallucination of the exact audio on the cult video

You are a fucking pleb on movies if you did not take that as a major possibility in the movie the director wanted you to suspect this shit was elementary tier forshadowing

blah blah ultimately the ending/ final act was a let down and hit like a wet noodle.

Well, I guess go enjoy "It Follows" or whatever side of the Onions-spectrum you're on.
