But nothing is right. The lead psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley), is evasive. Patients draw unsettling pictures. Teddy is haunted by visions of his late wife (Michelle Williams), who died in a fire set by an arsonist named Andrew Laeddis. Worse—a hurricane traps them all on the island.
If you have scrolled past La Isla Siniestra on Netflix late at night, you might have dismissed it as a standard horror-thriller. You would be wrong.
