• Horror

A chilling psychological horror unfolds as a grieving mother, Adèlle, navigates a haunting Welsh landscape following her young daughter Sarah’s disappearance at sea. The film pivots from a domestic drama of fractured familial bonds into a macabre exploration of grief and belief when a disturbing doppelganger emerges, claiming Sarah is held captive in a shadowy Welsh underworld. The narrative doesn’t rely on jump scares, but instead fosters a deeply unsettling atmosphere rooted in ancient folklore and the isolating vastness of the coastline, subtly questioning the boundaries between reality and delusion as Adèlle confronts not only the possibility of the supernatural, but also deeply buried family secrets hinted at through unsettling encounters with local shepherds and a pervasive sense of societal unease. This isn't a straightforward ghost story, but a deeply disturbing meditation on maternal loss and the lengths a parent will go to reclaim a lost child, even if it means venturing into the darkness within and beyond.
