El Faro

Mike O'Connor y su hermana Kate se alojan en el faro de un pequeño pueblo pesquero. Cuando Art Stone entra en su vida, su personalidad camaleónica les cautiva. Para Mike se convierte en su mejor compañero; para Kate, en algo más. Un triángulo que puede tener devastadoras consecuencias.

Cuando la joven Kate y su hermano pequeño entablan amistad con un encantador escritor que vive en un faro, no pueden sospechar que se trata en realidad de un peligroso asesino en serie. Tom Berenger (La sombra del testigo) protagoniza este trepidante thriller del director responsable de Un San Valentín de muerte. El film nos recuerda que las apariencias, a veces, engañan.

TRAILER

Orphan Mike O'Conner was abused from age three by his own dad, fled to Chicago to start a rock band but got dragged in bad mates' crime and convicted under probation. Mike's sister, Kate, managed to get him released and employed as assistant lighthouse guard under Adam Terrell, an author on sabbatical. However, Adam is murdered by serial killer Art Stoner, who takes Adam's place and identity. Art himself is the traumatized son of a prostitute, abandoned by the father, who had to watch his mother 'working' and got beaten, as if responsible, whenever her 'clients' hit her. 'Adam' seems to work out as Mike's substitute father, smacking him at worst, but their past starts catching up and Art being seen in action as Kate's lover poisons the triangle dramatically.
