Little Bone Lodge

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
