Details

1920, rural Ireland. Anglo-Irish twins Rachel and Edward share a strange existence in their crumbling family estate. Each night, the property becomes the domain of a sinister presence (The Lodgers) which enforces three rules upon the twins: they must be in bed by midnight; they may not permit an outsider past the threshold; and if one attempts to escape, the life of the other is placed in jeopardy. When troubled war veteran Sean returns to the nearby village, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious Rachel, who in turn begins to break the rules set out by The Lodgers. The consequences pull Rachel into a deadly confrontation with her brother - and with the curse that haunts them.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
iampedromoreno I absolutely loved this movie. The visuals are stunning, director and actors are good, audio work is flawless, and the story is really interesting.In my opinion, what makes this a great horror piece is the incredible sense of loneliness the main characters manage to express so well, and the idea of how creepy and sad decadence can be for an isolated family.I've found the water scenes particularly haunting. People with deep water fear could have trouble watching.Only reason I don't give this a 10 is the plot failed to properly justify including the townsfolk in the story. There's also a pointless dream scene, but it's short.
jmix66 Gothic apparently equals dull in the minds of the filmmakers who created this yawner.Blah blah blah Ireland. Blah blah blah Ghosts Blah blah blah Something happens. Unfortunately for the viewer that something is 85 minutes after you stopped caring. Could have been a lot better if it had been a lot faster paced and scarier. It isn't and it wasn't.
kosmasp Something is wrong and of course it is ... otherwise we wouldn't have a movie now would we? And it's about the house and two children in that house, but also the spirits of the past ... if you want to call them that. Now the movie is good in creating a certain mood and it is visually nicely crafted to say the least about it.But as flawsless as it looks, behind that look there are other flaws, written ones, in the story and in its development that may suck some of the horror out of it and make the suspense less effective for the viewer. It's obviously depending on the experience of the person watching, but objectively you can tell that while it does strike a chord with quite a few people, it also has quite a few wrong turns it takes. Logic and behaviour that makes sense have to step back quite a few times ...
Michael Ledo Twins Rachel (Charlotte Vega) and Edward (Bill Milner) live in a large home that needs upkeep and water pump. Edward never leaves the house. They just turned 18 and are concerned as the house closes in. The rules they follow are the lyrics of the opening ditty. They must be in their rooms by midnight. They are special and cursed and we don't find the details out until late which doesn't give full closure. The acting was good, but the story was slow, not fully explained, and not exciting. Guide: No swearing. Implied sex. Nudity.
