Rachel (Charlotte Vega) and Edward (Bill Milner) are 18-year-old orphaned twins inhabiting the decaying manor that's been in their family for centuries. Since losing their parents, the siblings live under an ancient family curse that forbids them from staying out late or from permanently leaving or accepting strangers into their home. Edward, a gloomy shut-in, adheres to these rules, but Rachel pushes their limits particularly now that handsome young veteran Sean (Eugene Simon) has returned to the neighbouring village. As finances dwindle and watery phantoms begin crowding the manor, Rachel and Edward must decide whether their destiny is sealed or their family's horrible hex can finally be brought to an end.

The Irish production The Lodgers is a recent attempt at a historical horror movie in the spirit of the Victorian school. However, it turns out that it does not work and that the moviemakers do not have enough to keep the viewer in suspense. I suffered through this and could not care how it would end, plus the dramatic plotline is quite weak.
