“Little Bone Lodge” (*1/2 out of four) was a joyless horror melodrama about 2 criminal brothers (Harry Cadpy and Neil Linpow) on the run in the midst of a vicious thunderstorm who seek refuge in a desolate farmhouse and take the family (Joely Richardson, Sadie Soverall, and Roger Ajogbe) hostage but soon find that they picked the wrong house to invade. Yet another rip-off of “Desperate Hours” and “The Purge” and virtually other home-invasion thriller you’ve seen but without much energy or spark. Linpow also wrote the script; Job Reineke’s magnificent and gloomy cinematography is one of film’s few assets.
