Tales from the Lodge (2019) is a movie about some friends gathering at a lodge because their friend drowned in the lake nearby. After telling each other scary stories involving ghosts, murderers and even zombies they suddenly are trapped in their own scary scenario.
The movie has some great dry British humor and made me laugh several times and with that I really started to enjoy these characters, some of them more than others. The stories were decent but none of them were really great or stood out to me. They were simple and you could tell that the movies budget was limited. In general the comedy aspect of the movie is its biggest strength because the horror was not prioritized. I'm a huge horror movie fan and I was hoping for a decently scary horror comedy with great stories and some nice splatter but that is not what the movie is going for. I thought that the only thing that really worked for me was the comedy since the movie is hilarious at times.
The ending was predictable, even though there's a big twist that I did not see coming and that is really far fetched. Overall I'd say it is a decent movie and the characters and their humor save it from being a boring watching experience. [5,1/10]
