Netflix viewers have been left "speechless" after the streaming service dropped a dark new movie that you have to have a strong will to handle.
A lot of us will spend a portion of our time dedicated to scrolling through Netflix trying to find something good to watch, and selecting a good movie can often take longer than the time is takes to watch it.
For those who have a liking for a movie that'll leave your mind racing, then look no further as the perfect thing may have just been released. Originally premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019, The Lodge has just landed on Netflix. Check out the gripping trailer below:
Directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, with a screenplay by Franz, Fiala, and Sergio Casci, the psychological thriller features a star-studded cast including Riley Keough, Jaeden Martell, Lia McHugh, Alicia Silverstone, and Richard Armitage.
The official Netflix synopsis teases the plot: "Snowed in with her fiancé's two children at a remote cabin, a woman haunted by the past begins to suspect that she's caught in a terrifying trap."
Viewers are flocking to social media platforms, with X (formerly known as Twitter), being rife with conversation.
One user said: "So I just watched the Lodge. I am absolutely speechless. It was an extremely wicked movie. I’m begging that Veronika and Severin get more projects. I don’t care if I even have to watch them in German."
A second added: "‘The Lodge’ on Netflix has gotta be the most darkest film i’ve watched in a long time. Cracking horror that."
While a third eloquently summed up the movie by saying: "Dude I just watched the lodge on Netflix.........that s*** messed me UP. holy s***... if y’all like creepy stuff that’ll mess with your head you need to watch it. It’s insane."
The movie touches on sensitive subjects - including suicide - so a fourth person delivered a warning to those who may be interested in watching the movie.
Despite receiving a 51 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film boasts a Tomatometer rating of 75 percent, earning it the coveted "fresh" status.
Speaking of Netflix, if The Lodge whets your appetite for a thriller, then the streaming service has just released Fool Me Once, which has also gone down very well with fans.
The gripping psychological drama, created by Danny Brocklehurst and based on Harlan Coben's novel of the same name, unfolds the story of a newly single mother, played by Michelle Keegan, whose life is shattered by the murder of her husband - who is portrayed by none other than Richard Armitage once again.
The plot thickens when she spots him alive on their nanny cam, leading her to question the true circumstances of his death and the individuals involved.
With eight episodes in the limited series, Fool Me Once offers the perfect opportunity for a one-episode-a-night experience or a weekend binge-watch.
