They broke out big when Venice, TIFF and Sitges handed them invites for their 2014 horror film Goodnight Mommy (read review) and Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s part in The Field Guide to Evil was a buffer in between features. A fairly secretive first English-language type of project, The Lodge went into production this past January with the likes of Richard Armitage, Katelyn Wells, and Riley Keough.
Gist: Written by Franz, Fiala, Sergio Casci, this is about young woman and her new stepchildren who are menaced by a terrifying supernatural force while spending Christmas in their remote cabin.
Production Co./Producers: Hammer Films’ Simon Oakes and Marc Schipper (The Quiet Ones).
Prediction: Midnight section. SXSW will want to program this one as well.
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. WME Global/FilmNation (domestic). FilmNation (international).
