THE LODGE. In this episode of Fear & Wine, we discuss the psychological horror film 'The Lodge,' exploring its themes of trauma, grief, and family dynamics. We reflect on winter activities that evoke nostalgia, contrasting childhood innocence with adult responsibilities. The conversation delves into the elements of folk horror and the dark past of the character Grace, setting the stage for tension and suspense in the film. We talk about the complexities of family dynamics during a divorce, exploring themes of isolation, manipulation, and the psychological struggles faced by both parents and children. Trapped in a snowy cabin, tensions rise, leading to a dark and tragic resolution that highlights the consequences of unresolved trauma and the desperate measures taken to protect loved ones.
