The 'twist' at the end is what elevates it from a 6 to an 8 or 9 for me. "Fallen" starring Denzel Washington has explored consciousness switching bodies, for instance. In that case, the evildoer doing the hopping instead of the victim in this film. The therapist in the flashbacks kept asking him who he was. He must have been telling his parents for months that he was "Sara" so they had him in therapy.

So Sam died in the lake many years earlier. Sam's body has been inhabited by his sister Sara since the moment of the death of her physical body. Years of therapy caused him to suppress that memory of his/her/their identity. It turns what could have been a 'by the numbers' supernatural revenge thriller into something a little deeper.

Sam, ultimately, kept his promise to his sister. He sacrificed his 'life' so she could live. "The gun to your head" is a metaphor. It's facing death in any number of circumstances including drowning when you find out what you're really made of. So it's really two movies. It's "Three Faces of Eve" meets "Ghost" but it's not quite as good as either of those movies.

The comparison to "Moonlight" are odd. I don't see any similarities in any of the characters or the genre or plot.

I thought this was an extremely suspenseful, well-done movie. The last 5 minutes were jaw-dropping. I did not find it as implausible as some. I expect that the killer chloroformed the parents first which is how he was able to extract the two youth without waking the parents. There is a lot that happens off-camera. They just caught The Golden State Killer, an ex-cop, after 40 years. He went unnoticed too. Fact is stranger than fiction.

Just suspend your disbelief and go with it. I found it to be great entertainment.
