La vida de la exitosa autora de novelas de misterio Rachel Carlson se viene abajo cuando su querido hijo Thomas, de siete años, muere ahogado en su casa de Primrose Hill. Un año después, y a pesar del anticipo millonario que ha recibido para su próxima novela, todavía está demasiado afectada para escribir. También se ha destruido su matrimonio con Brian, un editor y novelista tenaz. Su mejor amiga Sharon consigue alquilar una casita aislada en la pequeña y remota aldea de Ingonish Cove, en los Highlands escoceses, con la esperanza de que Rachel podrá curarse y volver a escribir. A medida que Rachel se adapta a la vida en aquel pueblo tranquilo, poco a poco va desarrollando una relación con Angus McCulloch, el atractivo vigilante del faro, que vive y trabaja en el islote desierto situado frente a la costa. Sin embargo, justo cuando Rachel comienza a sentir que se está recuperando, empieza a recibir mensajes misteriosos de su hijo fallecido, advirtiéndola de que corre peligro. Sin saber si los mensajes son reales o si está perdiendo la cabeza, Rachel se sumerge en un mundo de locura, crimen y fuerzas sobrenaturales. (Filmax)

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.
