Tales From The Lodge is a fresh take on the portmanteau horror-comedy genre. An isolated lodge somewhere in England. Five old university pals, now nudging 40, gather for a weekend to scatter the ashes of their friend, Jonesy, who drowned himself in the lake three years earlier. They settle in for a fun evening, entertaining each other with stories of murders, ghosts, zombies and possessions, but as day turns to night, the gang become aware of another horror story unfolding around them - And this one is real.

Is it problematic or not? I feel like it probably is, but more than that, I feel like I'm not qualified to answer that question. Most of all though, I feel that even if it is, it couldn't possibly have ruined Tales from the Lodge, 'cause it was already crap to begin with. Props... or, prop, I guess, to the moderately enjoyable 5-minute zombie parody vignette awkwardly plugged into the middle of the movie.
Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
