Goofs
At around the 25 minute mark there is a close up of a phonograph playing a record with the needle incorrectly to the left of the spindle. The record plays continuously over the next minute or so but the needle moves to the correct position - right of the spindle.

The motor on the small boat the woman takes out for the day is clearly an electric trolling motor, yet the sound is that of a gas powered engine.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
After finding the lost ring, the woman returns to the cabin looking for her boyfriend, asking him to forgive her, but he appears to have made good on his promise to leave the island. Yet, when she looks in the closets, she finds his clothes and his bags and realizes that he must still be there somewhere. When the door to the closet closes itself, she begins to suspect that there is another presence in the cabin. She asks whether there is someone there and what it wants. With the ghost's answers (one rap for yes, two for no), she learns that there is another presence in the house and that she should be afraid of him. She runs to hide in her secret place, where she finds her boyfriend lying unconscious. Meanwhile, the menacing presence corners the ghost and reprimands him for communicating with the woman. The dark presence then goes into the secret place and reveals himself to the woman, informing her that he has been watching over her like he watched over her mother before her, imploring her to believe that he is a good man and that her boyfriend is the one who will do to her and her children what her father did to her. The woman chooses not to believe him, knowing that he is a liar. 'Do your worst,' she challenges. Suddenly, the man in black's screams are heard as darkness falls over the island. The woman goes inside the cabin and, looking out the window, sees the dark shadow of a man in the woods. The ghost sees him, too, and for the first time, he screams and asks the woman to forgive him. The front door begins to rattle then bursts open to reveal the man (Deobia Oparei). Believing him to be 'the master', the ghost says, 'No.' Suddenly, the darkness goes away, and light fills the door. Realizing that the woodsman is the one who helped to save the boyfriend when he fell from the cliff and to replace the ring the woman thought was lost, the ghost takes his hand and walks into the light. As they disappear, the boatman appears in the door. He helps get her boyfriend out from the secret place and into his boat, where the woman cradles her fiance in her arms and assures him of her love. As the boat leaves the dock, a dark, hooded figure can be seen sitting in the boat with them.
Q
The scenery in this movie is beautiful. Where was the movie shot?
A
The filming location is given as Mount Hood, a mountain located in northern Oregon, about 50 miles east of Portland and 20 miles south of Government Camp. In some scenes, particularly those showing the boat arriving and departing, Mount Hood can be seen in the distance.
Q
The woman accepts her boyfriend's marriage proposal, so why does she suddenly get hostile to him?
A
The dark presence whispers to the woman that her fiance is bad and will try to molest her children, just like her father did to her. He twists her boyfriend's words in such a way that she believes it is her own thoughts and fears.
