One of the most intense psychological thriller movies is streaming for free — and it’s a dark ride full of shocking twists

I’m not usually rattled by slow-burn thrillers, considering I’ve watched some of the most intense horror movies to ever exist. But “The Lodge” is a dark psychological thriller that genuinely surprised me and even remained in the corners of my mind for quite some time.

Released in theaters in 2020, “The Lodge” is the kind of movie that starts with an icy stillness and slowly builds into full-blown psychological chaos. There’s no gore overload or cheap jump scares here, which is refreshing for the genre. Instead, it offers a steady unraveling of reality that will leave you double-checking the locks and rethinking your weekend getaway plans.
