The Lodge

(Movie, 2019)

I know this is only a movie and its dark narrative is necessary for its overall plot but I still find it utterly vexing. If this is real life:

1) Dad divorces wife for another woman (happens all the time) and eventually kills herself;

2) Just 6 months after Mom's suicide, Dad forces children to spend Christmas in a lodge with the other woman whom they haven't met;

3) Dad leaves the children with the disturbed woman for days.

And the award for DAD OF THE YEAR goes to...

If the children knew the woman was a psychopath before even meeting her, WHATTHEFUCK has the Dad been doing all those times??
