Overview

Tales from the Lodge is a 2019 British horror-comedy anthology film written and directed by Abigail Blackmore. The film is a fresh take on the portmanteau horror-comedy genre. Set at an isolated lodge somewhere in England, the story follows five old university pals, now nudging forty, who gather for a weekend to scatter the ashes of their friend, Jonesy, who drowned himself in the lake three years earlier. The group settles in for a fun evening, entertaining each other with stories of murders, ghosts, zombies, and possessions. However, as day turns to night, the gang becomes aware of another horror story unfolding around them, and this one is real. The cast includes Mackenzie Crook, Dustin Demri-Burns, Laura Fraser, and Sophie Thompson. The film has a runtime of one hour and thirty-three minutes and was released in the United States on March 9, 2019.
