“The Lodge” (*1/2 out of four) was a vacuous horror thriller about a stepmom (Riley Keough) who is snowed in with her fiance’s two children (Jaeden Lieberher and Lia McHugh) at a remote village and naturally- strange occurrences begin taking place and a supernatural entity overtakes her and threatens all of their safety and sanity. Directors Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz are obviously attempting to emulate the Kubrickian mood and style of “The Shining” but it all adds up to nothing, since film is pretty much of a bore. Early on, the two kids are watching John Carpenter’s remake of “The Thing” on television- a reminder of the right way to make this kind of movie. Alicia Silverstone has a cameo as the boy’s real mom but she wisely exits the movie early; most viewers will wish they did the same.
