    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Filming on the Island of Llanddwyn in North Wales had caused an outrage in the local community. People were angry that the "spiritual" Island was being used as a film set.
    • Goofs
      When Rachel first enters the town of Ingonish she walks past a sign stating the population. Scottish towns don't have these.
    • Quotes

      Rachel Carlson: Why is it everyone paints their boats the exact same color as their houses?

      Angus McCulloch: Well, that's actually a tradition here. The wife needs to be able to look out on the water and know her husband's okay.

      Rachel Carlson: That's very romantic.

      Angus McCulloch: And we also get a tax-break on the paint, which is also very romantic.

    Can you feel the chill, really spooky.
    It was a really nice surprise for me, I didn't expect so good movie. What's it about? Rachel Carlson is a successful mystery novelist whose life falls apart when her 5-year-old son drowns at her country home. A year later, in an effort to heal her wounds and help her to start writing again, her best friend rents her a secluded cottage in a remote fishing village, where events unfold that rock the tranquil village and cause Rachel to fear for her sanity and her life. The main actress was Demi Moore, and I think she played her role excellent. To beginning, it was a little bit confusing because you don't know that is fake and what is real.

    Euro..enjoy
