I had this on my radar for quite some time but never could find it as I was looking for "Little Bone Lodge" when the title on streaming is "The Last Exit". I far more like the title "Little Bone Lodge" but that is neither here nor there.

This was more interesting than I thought it was going to be. It had quite a few intriguing aspects and was a very layered story. It had many building blocks that I have seen before but maybe not all together in one story. I think some of the intrigue was dimmed a bit due to its predictability, but it was still there nonetheless.

The pacing was also just a little off for what it was. I think some of that was due to this movie faining as a horror/thriller, and while there were certainly aspects of each, it felt like mostly a drama to me.

There is no denying the exciting twists and turn throughout this story all while being supported by some pretty stellar performances. I think this was on the edge of being something quite cool but missed just a little bit. Regardless, still above average and would recommend.

Recently I have seen a few movies that have been put into the horror genre that are really thrillers with some horror which is more to do with the evil that humans are capable of. This falls into that category.

However, once I got past the realisation that this was not a horror in the true sense, no ghosts, no demons, no serial killers in masks, it was a very enjoyable movie.

The acting was top notch through out and although there was a twist and a bit of a reversal towards the end, the story felt somewhat familiar But done so well, it actually didn't bother me. As long as you don't go into this movie expecting Paranormal Activity, or Halloween, it is a suspenseful and enjoyable thriller.

This was surprisingly well put together, with great cinematography and a fitting score - a rare quality in B films. All casting and performances from actors I've never heard of were excellent and convincing. Newb writer Neil Linpow, who also played the Jack character, makes his full length feature film debut with a fairly decent screenplay, albeit a little predictable. Directing by Matthias Hoene was also impressive, as he was able to maintain a constant tone of suspense. The pacing did have some issues, and certainly could've been a little faster in some areas, because the 93 min runtime did feel much longer. Nevertheless, a decent one-time watch and a well deserved 7/10 from me.

This is a movie to my taste. It was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. The story has some unexpected twists that worked perfectly and pretty soon you realize there are more secrets than what meets the eye. The acting was overall very good and each of the actors really did a fantastic job. I was particularly impressed by the dynamic between the two brothers and their intense and complex relationship. The film takes place during a stormy night which adds mystery and atmosphere to the set. It's a low-budget production but often (not always) they surpass bombastic, big-budget Hollywood movies filled with CGI effects. Another this I appreciated was that the action began pretty early so it's not really a slow-burner. The ending is somewhat predictable but all in all this is definitely a film worth watching if you like mystery thrillers. I give it 7 out of 10 easily.

From the first 10 minutes you can pretty much predict the general plot, and while many movies would fail there this one does not. The acting is excellent, and there are still enough plot twists to add some spice to the story.

It is very well made. The setting is fine the camera work is excellent, the sound is great.

It has horror elements albeit grounded. Its horror like watching Hitchcocks Psycho is horror. Some of the shocking scenes are worthy of the movie Silence of the Lambs.

Not normally what I like, more of an Insidious type of guy, but the whole family liked it including teenagers. The ending is also pretty good, bittersweet but ok even for those who like "happy" endings.

Any fan of thriller movies will probably enjoy this. It's not great, it has its flaws but it's entertaining and intense. I agree with a reviewer who mentioned issues about the pacing, this should have been 5 minutes shorter and better edited. It's not a big problem though, this is still an interesting movie.

Actors were amazing. Everyone did a great job, this is probably the biggest quality of this movie.

If you have watched many movies, you will probably predict a lot of things during the first half hour. It's not the most original movie of the world, however i don't remember many original thrillers recently. Unfortunately, i guessed the big twist early in this movie, but still, it was a fun ride. Things got messy and chaotic in the last 20 minutes but i liked that, too.

I had no problem with plausibility here, i have watched way more far fetched stories. It's a thriller, not a documentary. And characters had a background too, they were well written, you empathize with them, even with the bad ones, you see clear their motives.

Watch it without reading a lot about this. Some reviews here reveal too much.

True, more a thriller than a horror film,(no zombies or ghosts...lol) but...well worth watching.

Saw another reviewer said ''after 20 minutes , so predictable'' he quit watching....... Damn near took his advice ,glad I DIDN'T.

The trailer comes across like countless movies about stumbling into some nut job family , nope a better story.

A few good twists to it.

Pacing is perfect, Begin's telling ya just enough about the characters to make ya think ya know them , then the story steadily increases in detail,action and twists.

As far as acting and writing goes..Everyone convincing , story line kept me pulled in till the end.

{Huge Kudos to the woman that played the ''MOM''} --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMHO There are movies well worth watching ,but only once. Because the twists.

This movie is worth a watch.

On a stormy night, 2 criminals on the run, one bleeding badly arrive at an isolated farmhouse. Living there is a family - the mother (Joely Richardson), her daughter and paralysed husband. The mother has the skills to stop the bleeding, but one of the men pulls a gun and takes control, calling his boss to come and pick him up. However, it soon becomes clear to the men that this family unit is not what it seems.

Clever little thriller - not really a horror - which with all its twists and turns and changes of allegiances bring you with the story rather than just dumps the next twist in your lap like a jump scare. Everyone in it is very good, especially Richardson as the tough and mysterious matriarch and Harry Cadby as one of the crooks with troubling mental health issue.

It's a stormy night. Mama (Joely Richardson) and Maisy (Sadie Soverall) are celebrating a birthday in their isolated farm with Pa, an immobile black man. Suddenly, there is banging at the door. A young man is demanding entry for him and his injured friend.

I like the opening section. Everybody is acting suspicious and nobody can be trusted. Obviously, Joely Richardson is the big name and face. It would be nice to concentrate more on Maisy. I thought that this would be better as a claustrophobic thriller inside the farm house. Ramp up the storm more and it has a ready made excuse to be imprisoned in a five character play. Anyways, I don't like every turn, but it's a fine little indie as it stands.

Not a horror movie, but definitely a thriller.... This was a decent little watch, nothing new, but the acting was good, the pacing smooth and the atmosphere worked. Maybe it's just because I have kids, but I'm not sure why people are saying these are all new faces to acting because the Mother (Joely Richardson) I will never forget as Anita from the live action 101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close. She also had a decent part in nip/tuck, and was in Event Horizon and The Patriot, as well as quite a few small parts here and there in other things including more stuff parents would see with teenage daughters. So while not a big name she should be recognizable to many.... Now, I realize these parts span the genre's but I guess I figured most people watch a variety of things like I do. Maybe they just never recognized her? Anyway, there were some other cast that I have seen as well in stuff, like the daughter also being in the Winx saga (again teenage daughter in this house lol) Although most haven't been in the sheer number of things that Richardson has. That said, while this was predictable, it was worth a watch. Especially if you like the home invasion type movies where the roles flip and the aggressors become the targets... I do like these types of movies and enjoyed it. A solid 5 to 5 1/2 stars, decent but forgettable once seen. Worth a watch though if looking for something you haven't seen yet.

Great acting and plot twists in this well-made home invasion thriller with tinges of horror. Neil Linpow not only wrote the strong script, but he also gives an impressive star turn, matching Joely Richardson's alternately nurturing and disturbing performance as a mother protecting her family.

I'm sure we'll be seeing more of the impressive supporting actors as well. Just be aware that there are some gruesome images in the film, and the British dialogue was hard to hear and understand for this American. Given the small budget and single location, the director was able get high production values out of the setting and action. I also prefer the evocative UK title Little Bone Lodge over the more generic US title The Last Exit.

I've been wanting to watch this for a while but had trouble finding it since I was searching for "Little Bone Lodge" when it's actually listed as "The Last Exit" on streaming platforms. Personally, I prefer the title "Little Bone Lodge," but that's beside the point.

This film turned out to be more interesting than I expected. It offers a layered story with several intriguing elements. While it includes familiar tropes, the way they're combined here is unique. Some of the suspense was slightly diminished due to its predictability, but it remained engaging.

The pacing felt a bit off, likely because the film straddles the line between horror and thriller, though it mostly plays out as a drama.

Despite these issues, the story is filled with exciting twists and turns, supported by stellar performances. It's close to being something really special but just misses the mark. Still, it's above average and worth a watch.

So eventually there'll be some Scottish people in this Highlands-set film, right?... Hello?

Didn't mind this really. I mean we all know what's going on from about 3 minutes in, right? There is no twist, right? So what's left is the story itself and where the characters go with it.

For the most part that's okay. There are a couple of points where I hoped it would zag instead of predictably zigging, and the fourth quarter is laden with silliness from character decisions to cilmactic events to logistical oddities (how much do retired anaesthetists make exactly...?), but none of it made me switch off. Maybe eye roll a little.

Neil Linpow needs calling out here. His writing is solid and his acting moreso. Like a cross between Johnny Harris and Paddy Considine, I would hope this at least propels him into other roles with bigger platforms. Hoping to find Lesson 7 somewhere so I can see how his directorial skills compare.

The strength of the script and actors makes this a very entertaining schlock thriller with some real nasty turns. Joely Richardson gives possibly her strongest performance as the lead in this movie, keeping the mood suitably tense and providing a very good turn as a mother who will go to any lengths to protect her family. The supporting cast also give the script the emotional edge that it requires, Neil Linpow and Harry Candy giving convincing performances as the troubled duo, making the desperate situation feel both genuine and taut, also Sadie Soverall as Maisie gives a very strong turn as the ingenue, struggling to decipher the emotional puzzle at play.

An extremely entertaining thriller that will take you by surprise.

If you are bored and have nothing to watch and shuffling Netflix library, tubi or any other platform. Then this is best 👌. Didn't expect but it was a very good movie. When i read the title, i thought it will be like other regular boring movie. But when i start watching it, i was stuck on my couch. Good thriller. Movie has mouth opening turn and shock you. Good acting and new script. Sometime we look around bunch of stuff and found a rare piece of gem. It is like that. Its not top notch but it will give you enough suspense and mystery. If you are looking something, which can surprise you. Then it is for you. If you are movie lover then this is not to miss, kind of movie. Thum👍up.

Watched this on the basis of the mostly positive reviews here, I can only assume they are being written by friends of the movie. Not sure if I'm watching the same film, but I found it almost unwatchable. Its only ninety minutes long, but it seems much, much longer, with scenes being dragged out. Not a horror, kind of a thriller. Some of the scenes are filmed in near darkness, which makes it hard to see what is going on. The climax (no spoilers) plays out a bit like a comedy, and you do not really care what happens, just hoping the movie ends and you can go off to do something less boring instead.

Despite some lazy script contrivance- very convenient having the lock on the wall right next to the tools so the antagonists can cut their way through the handcuffs that bound them, this is a nifty little Brit flick that would keep anyone guessing up to the final blood soaked act.

It kept us guessing..... After the bombastic, overlong summer blockbusters (with the exception of Barbie!), where there isn't an original idea ,it's refreshing to see an original, sharp thriller.

The acting is solid lead by a decent Joely Richardson and young Sadie Soverall (looking and sounding like Mia Gorman!), with able support by Harry Cadby as the troubled,slow young man with a secret.

Well worth a watch if you fancy a dark, twisted British thriller well shot on a small budget.

No offense to Tubi: despite being a huge fan of Tubi itself I was really not expecting to enjoy a "Tubi Original" as other "Originals" thus far have seemed cheesy.

...but this, this was surprisingly enjoyable.

The acting, cinematography, sets, effects, and pacing were all great. I agree with some of the other reviewers that a few plot elements could be predictable but I don't think most people will be able to predict all of them.

I confess though - the primary reason that I gave this a chance was that it was listed as a horror movie with an "R" rating. I do have a soft spot for Brit horror though.

I'm disappointed I didn't like 'Little Bone Lodge' all that much. It had all the ingredients I like in a horror/thriller film. But it was also missing something. I was very bored for the majority of the film and I couldn't put my finger on why for a while. Then I clicked, I didn't care about any of the characters.

I feel like I go on about unlikable characters in every second review I write, but I really think they are the most important element to an enjoyable viewing experience. This film was a prime example of that. A dark and sinister story with twists and turns and yet I couldn't have cared less, because none of the characters were given time to grow on me and they were all detestable monsters more or less.

It's also a very drab and depressing film. There's no dark humour or over-the-top elements to add some pizzazz to the proceedings. I'll give it a generous 6/10 because I like the idea for the film, just not the execution.
