Soulmate (film)  Soulmate is a 2013 British horror film and the feature film directorial debut of Axelle Carolyn. The film had its world premiere on 18 October 2013 at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain. It stars Anna Walton as a woman who travels to the countryside to recuperate after a suicide attempt but finds that her cottage is haunted by a ghost. "Soulmate" was initially refused a rating certificate by the British Board of Film Classification due to its opening scene and Carolyn was required to edit out portions of the scene. Devastated by the loss of her husband from a car accident, Audrey (Anna Walton) tries to commit suicide but is saved from death by her sister Alex (Emma Cleasby). She decides that the best course of action would be to stay in a cottage in the secluded Welsh countryside, where she will try to overcome her loss and her personal feelings of guilt about her husband's death. On her first day there Audrey meets local Theresa (Tanya Myers) and her husband Dr Zellaby (Nick Brimble), who tell her about the cottage's previous owner, Douglas (Tom Wisdom), that died 30 years prior due to suicide. Soon Audrey begins to hear strange noises and discovers a locked door, which Zellaby states has not been opened since Douglas's death. Eventually the noises become too much for her and Audrey forces the door open to discover that it has many various items belonging to Douglas, including letters from his fiancee Nell (Rebecca Kiser). At this point Douglas begins to manifest himself within the house, revealing himself to Audrey. The two are able to converse with one another but cannot physically interact and they begin to form an emotional bond. However, as time passes the question arises as to whether or not Douglas is a kindred spirit or something more sinister. Carolyn was inspired to create "Soulmate" after getting lost in the English countryside, where she discovered "this spooky little village hidden in a hollow, on a dark cloudy day." She also liked the idea of "finding comfort in the supernatural ... because if there are ghosts, there's an afterlife, and the people you've lost are not gone forever." Finding an appropriate filming location caused some difficulties, as she wanted to find a cottage that was "small enough to be cozy and atmospheric, but large enough to accommodate a film crew". As the film's crew was unable to afford tents or trailers for the duration of filming, crew members would have to perform their work in unoccupied rooms of the cottage and relocate as needed for film shots.
