The premise
In an attempt to pull her family together, Adèlle travels with her young daughter Sarah to Wales to visit her father. The morning after they arrive, Sarah mysteriously vanishes in the ocean. Not long after, a little girl bearing a striking resemblance to their missing daughter reveals that she has retuned from the dead — and that Sarah has been taken to the Welsh underworld.
Horror Vault's take
When a mother brings her daughter to the rugged Welsh coastline hoping to repair fractured family ties, a single terrifying morning unravels everything she thought she knew about life and death. A mysterious child emerges from the sea in her daughter's wake, carrying whispers of an ancient underworld lurking beneath the waves. Rooted in Welsh folklore and myth, the film weaves together personal anguish and supernatural dread into something genuinely haunting. Maria Bello and Sean Bean anchor an emotionally raw story where a parent's worst nightmare bleeds into something far stranger.
