The Haunting Lodge

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.

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.

I enjoyed this a lot-the stuff captured on film kind of did me in! The encounters in the field at night were shocking but somehow a bit of "a-HA"! People looking for jump scares and horror trope stuff should look elsewhere for that. This seems to be legitimate investigation with amazing results. My only complaint is that it's too short-I really became invested in the history of the house and the surrounding land. Maybe this will be a part of explaining a whole host of questions humanity wrestles with-Where are we going, what happens to us when we die, and who else is out there. I'm trying not to spoil it without sounding vague, but that's how a lot of this stuff presents- vague.

Haunting Lodge is a thrilling cinematic experience that expertly blends psychological horror with supernatural elements. As a group of filmmakers venture into the eerie confines of a haunted lodge, they are soon plunged into a nightmarish world of unexplained phenomena. The film's ability to craft a palpable atmosphere of fear and uncertainty is one of its standout features, keeping the audience on edge from start to finish. While it does incorporate some familiar horror tropes, Haunting Lodge intelligently subverts expectations at key moments, leaving viewers guessing about the true nature of the otherworldly entities haunting the lodge. With convincing performances and a well-paced plot filled with unexpected twists, this film is a must-see for anyone seeking an adrenaline-pumping and spine-tingling cinematic experience.

What sets Haunting Lodge apart is its unique portrayal of the lodge itself as a character shrouded in dark history and sinister secrets. This added layer of depth enhances the overall sense of dread and fascination with the story. The chemistry among the cast members adds authenticity to their characters' fear and desperation, drawing the audience deeper into the unsettling world of the lodge. Ultimately, "Haunting Lodge" stands as a well-crafted thriller that delivers on its promise of suspense and supernatural intrigue, making it a standout choice for fans of the genre and a compelling addition to the world of cinematic horror.

Does anyone actually believe that this nonsense is real? I put this on in the background for some noise while doing housework and that's about all it was good for. I imagine the "crew" of this "documentary" are a bunch of out of work film school dropouts trying to justify/recoup the cost of their equipment. "Ghosts don't have such heavy footsteps." Seriously? You can buy a variety of "paranormal equipment" online and start your own ghostbusting investigation team. These shows are ridiculous and I'm glad I only turn them on occasionally for background noise and to see just how silly they can be.
