I love horror, expecially when it comes to gothic, somber and victorian
period horrors. Sadly The Lodgers Is one of those type of films that you Wish
It was way way better. I'm gonna make a comparision on what level
this film is, for me its obvious just at looking at the poster.
a half ok horror movie to watch. with maybe some great scenes or decor in there somewhere.
what to expect here Is easy if you make a comparison.
for the ones that never watch horror. without spoiling anything
It doesn't come close to The vvitch, the others, jane eyre, agnus dei, in gothic power.
It doesn't even come close to lower grade gothic movies of late "the countess, the awakening, woman in black etc.
If you seen emilie clarkes voices from the stone, or asylum with kate beckinsale.
Its more on that level. And no wrong in that, Its all about if they can build atmosphere and tension and create something unique
and The strongest thing In The Lodgers Is it's unique location. There is much to love here,
from the small shops, to the house itself. But the film never really takes off..
It could be great If they didn't made the film so bbc safe. Theres no frights
or jumpscares to be found here at all. The incredibly cheezy cgi effects dragging it down. when clearly the movie had won horselenghts on having practical effects all the way.
SO! I really wish it was better. It played out much better in my head.
They should have been more dark and twisted, more feral in the making of the movie. Like I said,, Its a great build-up leading nowhere really. I wanted to like the movie really..
