Horror Vault's take

On a windswept island community, a young woman suffocated by her domineering family finds an unlikely lifeline in a magnetic, rough-edged stranger — but his connection to a string of unsolved murders casts a long, troubling shadow. Director Michael Pearce crafts a slow-burn psychological thriller anchored by a raw, fearless performance from Jessie Buckley, as her character is torn between liberation and danger. The film lingers in the uncomfortable space between attraction and suspicion, never letting the audience — or its heroine — feel entirely safe.
