This evil kid's gaslighting goes horribly wrong in this underrated gem.
The Big Picture We get it that kids aren't always thrilled about a new woman coming in to replace their mother. The list of evil stepmother movies is longer than your arm. But this is not one of those films. 2019's The Lodge stars Riley Keough in a horrific tale of gaslighting turned deadly. And the one doing the gaslighting isn't the adult, but one of the kids.
To be very clear, losing a mother to suicide like Aiden has and the prospect of your father remarrying might tend to make an immature young mind turn spiteful, but gaslighting is a totally different form of evil. There is a special place in hell for gaslighters. There is something so specifically and intentionally evil in Aiden playing mind games with a vulnerable psyche and trying to make Grace believe she has lost her mind.
Jaeden Martell Gives Us One of Cinema's Most Diabolical Kids When the blizzard hits the remote cabin, the three are stranded without power and there is no help within miles of the snowed-in lodge. Once they are stranded, Aiden begins to manipulate Grace with a series of horrific mind games that eventually leads him to convince Grace that they are dead; that they have actually died and are existing in some sort of purgatory.
'The Lodge's Aiden is More Evil Than Damien From 'The Omen' Well, we think by this point in the article, it may be fairly obvious why Aiden's crimes against Grace are far worse than the Antichrist himself, Damien — the poster child for evil children in film — in The Omen. Damien has no choice. He is the physical embodiment of sin and pure evil. He is literally a necessary evil that without, we wouldn't be able to recognize all the goodness and kindness in the world.
Yes, he blames Grace for his mother's death, but you can still be an insolent and petulant little S.O.B. without taking it as far as Aiden does in The Lodge. To be fair, their father, Richard, shoulders a good bit of the blame as well as it was his idea to isolate them in the first place, and then he ups and leaves.
