The Lodge. 2019.

Jaeden Martell and Lia McHugh play siblings who after the death of their Mother Alicia Silverstone, head to a remote cabin with their dad's new girlfriend Riley Keough in a bonding experience over Christmas, when their dad is called away it becomes unsettling.

I'm not going to lie, this was a very slow burner for me yet I still watched it on how it will play out. There is a hint of a cult and nod to the Heaven's Gate cult added in. It does play out if it's supernatural element or is it more psychological games and who is doing it, whether it be the up and coming stepmother or the kids playing the games. it certainly does have the fear, isolation and cabin fever mixed in. I really wanted to like it as the acting and direction was good but some bits did drag on a lot.
