Vega to Star in the Gothic Horror Story “The Lodgers”

Charlotte Vega is lodge and in charge…

The 22-year-old Spanish actress is set to star in Epic Pictures Group’s gothic horror story The Lodgers.

Directed by Brian O’Malley from a script by David Turpin, the film stars Vega, David Bradley, Eugene Simon, Bill Milner and Moe Dunford.

The story follows a sister (Vega) and brother (Milner) haunted by a secret curse that forces them to remain in the large estate home left to them by their dead parents. But when a young man (Simon) who falls in love with the sister tries to free her, his attempt sets off a deadly chain reaction.

Adding a touch of realism to the production, The Lodgers will be filmed almost entirely at Loftus Hall, Ireland’s most famous purported haunted house, which is beset — so local legend holds — by the ghost of a young woman and the devil himself. (Coincidentally, Loftus Hall celebrates its 666th anniversary this year).

Vega recently appeared in the BBC-produced series The Refugees.

Filming has already begun on the film.
