siriusly1986 Review of The Lodgers

The Lodgers (2017)

A lot of build-up and mystery but all for nothing.

[4/10 · 24 February 2018]

The movie starts off interesting but in the end nothing really happens. Only good people die here (one particularly was just an old man who traveled far just to do his job) while good-for-nothing types just go on about their lives beating up and harassing people. While the movie is filled with assumptions and mysteries nothing is revealed here. The characters are bland and you really do not know anything much about them to care enough about their plight. It feels wasted because the acting was quite good. The amount of time and effort they spent on effects and shots of scenery which gets repeated anyway should have been spent on story-telling and it would have been more creepy. Drops of water, wet objects and naked people are not really scary.
