First half was a struggle to get through for me, but it really picked up in the second part.
I had a good time, but wasn’t shocked or surprised by any of the twists sadly.

A psychological thriller with a pretty unbelievable ending, in my opinion.
Matthew meets Emma at a conference and tells her that he is a widower. Emma is a wealthy CEO and quickly falls under Matthew's spell. Matthew tells her about his first wife, Becky, and how he is recovering from his sadness over her death.

Strange things begin happening at their home, but video feeds show no one was there. Emma starts to think that Becky's ghost is haunting her. But, there are so many secrets and lies in Matthew's story.

When the full story was revealed, I felt it was pretty ridiculous, and I thought that Emma wouldn't accept things the way they played out in the end.
