Shadow Play - Susan Shadburne - (1986) DVD

A playwright, staying by herself on a remote island, is haunted by the spirit of her dead fiance, who had committed suicide. Since Dee Wallace-Stone's character is the only one who sees the ghost and the ghost never really emerges as a standalone character, you have to wonder whether the ghost really exists or is merely a psychological device created by the heroine's subconscious to help her work through her deep sense of loss. Watch this not as a horror movie but as a sad and romantic ghost story in the vein of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. If you value subtlety and storytelling over effects and gore, you may very well like this movie
