In the 1920s, two isolated twins live simply while trying to hide a mysterious family secret.
A horror film in a purely Gothic style, extremely well done visually and in what concerns the atmosphere and its character development. Poetic and mysterious, The Lodgers hides and reveals extremely subtly only parts and suggestions of the plot in such a clever way that its banality or the questioning of its plausibility are minimized and moved to the far background while the audience can focus almost unknowingly on the emotional state generated by the beauty and perfection of the picture.
Opinions are as expected quite divided because a film labeled as horror generates certain expectations in terms of the proportion of scare and entertainment, a criterion in which this film is weak, not for reasons of incompetence but simply intention.
