A successful mystery writer's five-year-old son has drowned, and as a result her life appears to be falling apart at the seams. When a sympathetic friend rents her a secluded cottage in hopes that a little peace and quiet will help the grieving mother recover from her loss, the quiet retreat is violently shattered by a series of bizarre and unexplained murders. Now with a community in fear and her sanity slowly slipping, she must use her instincts to unmask the killer before it's too late and she too falls prey to the murderous rage that threatens to consume the once tranquil town.
I don't remember this film being in the theaters - strange for a Demi Moore movie. The beginning started off well and provided the right amount of background information. The seeds of a good mystery and suspense film were planted early. The setting of a remote cottage by the ocean was perfect for a thriller. Demi Moore did a fantastic job creating an air of mystery and intrigue. Basically, the stage was set for a great movie. However, it certainly didn't live of to it's potential. The ending is what makes a great mystery movie and that was the big disappointment. I won't ruin it for you in case you decide to watch it, but now I see why there wasn't any buzz for this movie when it was in the theaters.
Rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Demi Moore, Kate Isitt, Hans Matheson
I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
