The Lodgers (2017)
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.

Crappy film
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
This film is actually a waste of time, please make a favour to yourselves and skip this, ABSOLUTELY DON'T WATCH IT.
I've watched the movie and came to see reviews. Honestly the number of reviews which claim they couldn't figure out what this was about astounds me. This is a good ghost story and the only problem was that it was slow moving. It's pretty obvious what the original sin was and the recurring sin and why the shame was cursing the family. If you can't figure it out, then go back to Saturday morning family sitcoms, for Pete's sake. Good for a relaxed viewing of an interesting ghost story, as long as you aren't expecting freak scares and true horror.
The movie started well and I love Irish films so I was game for this one. Unfortunately, the movie didn't explain anything to us viewers about why the curse, why their own kin was waiting to kill them if they didn't obey the rules and literally forced the viewer to guess what the plot was not good!
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.
