Creepy lodge

It was definitely a more psychological type of horror story than gory, which was plenty creepy. That lake and Glass Point Lodge had plenty of insidious feelings which played very nicely on Randall during his search for the missing children while also bringing up his own childhood memories and the trials of his brother. There is something really awful when you cannot trust your own memories or thoughts. I will say I did get a little bit confused when things seemed to contradict themselves and even I couldn't tell what might be real. But I still sped through this hoping to find answers to the mysterious figures and hope that Randall could find the children and escape before it go to him too. The grand reveal at the end was good and left me questioning and unsettled. It was a good psychological horror story and I definitely do not want to visit that lodge!
