Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
Cinepocalypse Day 2/Movie 3: THE LODGERS centers on cursed siblings haunted by the past destined to repeat it. Beautifully rendered gothic horror set during WWI directed by Brian O’Malley (Let Us Prey). Charlotte Vega carries this film elevating the supernatural to ethereal beauty. One of my favorites of the festival.
