Severin Fiala

Severin Fiala is an Austrian film director, frequently collaborating with Veronika Franz; together they directed Goodnight Mommy (2014) and The Lodge (2019).

Frequent collaborator with Veronika Franz; known for psychological, domestic horror films that use visual composition and slow-burn tension.

The single review (by edmond) reads The Lodge as a variation on sin-and-atonement horror, shifting the uncanny back to human causes. It praises visual composition but finds the film emotionally unsatisfying. The reviewer rates it 2/5 and criticizes the final twist for lacking gut impact.
