THE LODGERS

RELEASED 25 June 2017 | 15 | dVd

Three rules govern the strange twins that live in a decaying Irish mansion house: lock up by midnight, no strangers, never leave the other alone. Understand the rules and you’ll understand why water steals from the edges of trapdoors and a naked couple hover like silent wraiths over a nearby lake. Channelling the unquiet spirits of The Others, this is an elegantly unsettling, beautifully shot mood piece, with undercurrents that linger.

Extras Behind-the-scenes piece, deleted scenes, trailer. Nick Setchfield
