Claes Bang (Dracula) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) play a very attractive couple suddenly spiralling down into a Hitchcockian nightmare in The Bay of Silence. After this seemingly happy couple have a baby, things get bleak as Kurylenko's character begins insisting she gave birth to twins while Bang swears she only had one child. Just what's going on here?
When Will (Claes Bang) discovers his wife Rosalind (Olga Kurylenko) and their three children have suddenly disappeared, he sets off on a frantic search across Europe. He finally locates them in a remote village in northern France, but relief turns to horror when Will discovers his baby son has mysteriously died. Will sets out to discover the truth about his wife's disappearance and the death of his son, finding himself at odds with Rosalind's former stepfather, Milton (Brian Cox), who wants to ‘protect’ her for his own private reasons.
The film was directed by Paula van der Oest and written by Caroline Goodall, who also appears in the film. It's based on the 1986 novel by Lisa St. Aubin de Terán. The Bay of Silence arrived in virtual theaters, on VOD, and digital on August 14.
