The Haunting Lodge

The Haunting Lodge was entertaining and informative, a truly enjoyable film. The program had first person interviews along with the details behind the investigation. The show provided several examples of what was being experienced and showed how the investigators worked to verify what was happening. I liked that some of the events were recorded for the viewer, not reenacted. While the primary crew did great work, they also brought in additional resources to get to the bottom of things. They certainly connected some dots for me. If you want to watch a show that provides some answers you need to check this one out.

Kendall and Vera are the main characters of this documentary that move into the lodge to begin their paranormal investigation. Vera is the first to experience some paranormal activity, but soon they both experience terrifying stuff (good thing it's all on camera :)), including being touched while they sleep (Just the thought of this creeps me out). This leads to them calling a psychic medium Jill Morris, to talk to the dead and to help them solve the case. She then proceeds to tell them that the haunting is the work of an intelligent entity (I'm still confused, but I'm not the smartest tool in the shed). The insidious creepy secrets of the hotel are revealed as the paranormal activity escalates. The couple find themselves in over their heads which leads to this wonderful documentary. If you like ghost hunter stories you'll enjoy this. Good job to the team behind it.

Enjoyable found footage horror film that stays light on the "horror" but remains compelling in its own way. First off, ALL the actors felt very authentic and in-the-moment for the entirety of the film. I especially liked the main duo who, although being charmingly annoying at times, had great screen charisma that kept me watching throughout the entire film. I'd gladly watch another film with this duo if it could happen. Would be great if this was a trilogy or a series.

This was also very original in both the location and the type of unknown entities in the film. Also unique in that this film is not really "hard-boiled" horror but more like a "cozy mystery" horror if that can be a thing.

Recommend a watch for some light and easy enjoyment.

In The Haunting Lodge, a group of filmmakers unwittingly selects a seemingly ordinary lodge for their stay, only to be plunged into a nightmarish world of supernatural terror. The film excels in creating an atmosphere of suspense and dread through clever cinematography and chilling sound design, transforming every creak and whisper into a source of genuine horror. As the characters delve deeper into the lodge's mysteries, the film explores themes of fear, belief, and the fragile nature of sanity, all without resorting to gratuitous gore. With a talented cast delivering convincing performances, "The Haunting Lodge" stands out as a memorable addition to the horror genre, offering a chilling and thought-provoking cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

Went into this expecting it to be a full on found-footage horror movie. Started off slow, but that's was okay because lost of found footage films start off slow. But got 2/3 of the way through, and there had yet to be anything scary at all. The last 1/3 was the most disappointing. So much opportunity to do something scary. Even if it was something completely out of left field. But no, it was honestly just so disappointing. I've seen bad movies before and still enjoyed them for the few good things they have in them. But this movie (which is just over an hour) had basically nothing good about it.
