The Lodge (2019)

The Lodge (2019) was extremely dark. Tense and moody psychological thriller. Not my favorite film.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

This film was sad -- what happens when you push an emotionally fragile person too hard, past their breaking point. Not really a horror movie though - just a depressing case of abusing a person who has already been traumatized, and watching as they crack under pressure.

Split (2017)

Split (2017) was awesome! A spiritual successor to Silence of the Lambs, with a psychologically complex and devious villain, and a heroine who at first seems fragile, but who ultimately evinces surprising strength. The same kind of edge-of-your-seat thrills, but a fresh and gripping story. Excellent!
