It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

There are never enough gothic horror films produced and this one really stood out for me within the genre when I saw it recently. It's beautifully made and oozing with gothic atmosphere. The simplicity of the story and the rules that the twins must live by is something which really struck me also and I found myself humming the lullaby they must recite long after the film was over. The central performances by Charlotte Vega and Bill Milner are wonderful - they are such contrasting characters and it is nice to see a female protagonist choosing her own way out ultimately and not having to be rescued as a damsel in distress. The cinematography and production design are also worth noting in this beautiful film and there are a number of superb underwater sequences. Very memorable and unnerving and a solid piece of gothic cinema. Recommended.

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.
