Demi Moore stars as Rachael Carson, a successful mystery writer whose life is shattered following the accidental drowning of her 5-year-old son. Knowing she desperately needs solitude and rest, her best friend rents Rachel a secluded cottage in a remote fishing village. But instead of a peaceful retreat, Rachel finds herself caught up in a supernatural murder mystery that rocks the tranquil town and threatens Rachel's fragile sanity - and her life - in this spooky suspense thriller.

This is just an average thriller, mainly due to the dull direction. The script tried to combine elements of a crime thriller and a mysterious drama with a romantic storyline. There is an apparent effort to create the old-fashioned British pensive atmosphere, and the musical score based mainly on piano tones reminds me of old crime series with Inspector Dalgliesh. The weaker review from me is due to Demi Moore in the lead role. Not that she didn't play her part well, but I simply don't like her. I consider her an average actress, interesting only for her self-presentation skills and bulldog tenacity. Overall impression: 50%.

The first hour, which was in the spirit (haha) of the silliest campfire ghost stories, was not great, but the rest was completely different, much better, pleasantly surprising and gave a completely different dimension to the mentioned ghost stories. However, the film lacked anything believable to me, especially the emotions of the main character were lost somewhere, and I think Demi Moore really could have acted better. Otherwise, I really liked the atmospheric Cornish setting and the music. It’s not offensive.
