The Lodgers	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Lodgers is a 2017 Irish gothic horror film by director Brian O'Malley and writer David Turpin. Charlotte Vega and Bill Milner star as Rachel and Edward, a mysterious pair of twins living in an isolated, dilapidated mansion, while Eugene Simon stars as a young, handsome-but-troubled war veteran who becomes drawn to Rachel.The twins are bound to the estate - and to each other - by a dark family secret, a terrible curse, and the sinister, unseen presences (the eponymous "Lodgers") that emerge every night from the water beneath a trapdoor in the entryway. The Lodgers are keen to enforce the curse, including its three rules: The twins must be in bed by midnight The twins must not permit any other person to enter the mansion If one twin attempts to escape, the other twin's life is forfeited to the lodgersAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film begins as two major crises converge, straining the twins' relationship. One crisis comes from outside: creditors are closing in and the twins will soon be forcibly evicted from the mansion to which their lives are tied. The other comes from below: the Lodgers are increasingly restless as the twins draw closer to their 18th birthday without fulfilling one of the abominable curse's key edicts. Time is running out and the likelihood of survival seems increasingly slim.

The Lodgers / int_2cac89cf	type	The Ingenue
The Lodgers / int_2cac89cf	comment	The Ingenue: Played with. On one hand, Rachel is a beautiful, chaste young woman whose life-long isolation from society at large makes her naive to the ways of the world. On the other hand, both of the twins have been groomed to keep themselves "pure" for one another until the curse demands they produce children together, making her ingenue status mostly involuntary.

The Lodgers / int_8a817c2a	type	Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil
The Lodgers / int_8a817c2a	comment	Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Edward crosses the threshold from an increasingly unlikeable (but ultimately sympathetic) victim and co-sufferer of the curse to an Asshole Victim when he assaults his sister and prepares to rape and forcibly impregnate her while she is unconscious. It's questionable how much of this behavior is influenced by the curse and the threat of imminent death, but it's not questionable that Edward genuinely covets his sister and has ignored several earlier pleas to flee the mansion together and avert this very scenario.
