Synopsis

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.

Stefan Campbell An interesting concept that suffers from poor writing. Weird things happen without rhyme or reason and the audience is never given an explanation for anything. Minor conflicts in the movie happen for the sake of taking up time to bring it to an hour and a half and no resolutions are ever provided The acting isn't horrible, I guess.
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 ...
aw1963 It needs to be said that this is Ghost Story,not a horror or a slasher or any other genre,so if what you want is non stop action,blood and gore with a bit of T&A thrown in your're going to be disappointed,what you will get is a wonderful slow burn ghost story that will enthrall and delight you in many ways.The acting is wonderful with a natural flow that gets you invested in the main characters,particularly the main character of Rachel,played by the beautiful Charlotte Vega.The cinemaphotography is stunningly beautiful and eerily spectactular,and the musical score hauntingly beautiful.I honestly didn't think I would like this movie but it quickly captured me and held me until the very end.
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.
