The Lodgers

"The Lodgers" was released in 2017 and marked a distinctive entry into the Irish gothic horror genre, directed by Brian O'Malley. Upon its initial release, the film received mixed to positive reviews, with critics praising its atmospheric setting, haunting cinematography, and strong performances, particularly from Bill Milner as Edward and Moe Dunford as Dessie. However, some viewers found the pacing slow and the storyline somewhat predictable. Over time, "The Lodgers" has gained a modest but dedicated following, appreciated for its unique blend of gothic horror and period drama. While it did not achieve mainstream blockbuster status, it is increasingly regarded as an underrated gem within indie horror circles, valued for its mood, style, and character-driven narrative rather than conventional scares. Rather than becoming dated, its period authenticity and thematic depth have helped it maintain relevance among fans of atmospheric horror films.
