About this movie

In this gothic horror tale, a family curse confines orphaned twins Rachel (Charlotte Vega) and Edwards (Bill Milner) to their home as punishment for their ancestors' sins. Bound to the rules of a haunting childhood lullaby, the twins must never let any outsiders inside the house, must be in their rooms by the chime of midnight, and must never be separated from one another. Breaking any of these three rules will incur the wrath of a sinister presence that inhabits the house after midnight. While Edward is committed to this ill-fated life, he's becoming more unhinged due to the fact that Rachel is not. Smitten by a local soldier (Eugene Simon), Rachel grows skeptical and begins to rebel, desperate to escape the oppression and misery of their captivity.

Ratings and reviews

I wanted to love this movie, yet I went in with lowered expectations. But I was still disappointed. It's a well made film, the acting and directing are top notch for this style of Gothic film but the script is flimsy and the story itself is ultimately basic and disappointing. I guessed the twist within 15 minutes but it ended up being what the whole movie was about rather than just a plot point like I expected. Was enjoying it up until the last 20 minutes, though.

This movie is hard to read, and considering i am a horror movie buff it is very rare that i would say that. It is very different from a lot of other horror movies out there. I am so happy that i rented it!
