Drowning Ghost marked Rebecca Ferguson's shaky movie debut with a dismal 11% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite initial setbacks, Ferguson rose from obscurity to become a box office queen with higher ratings and international acclaim. Ferguson's journey from the failure of Drowning Ghost to starring in major hits like Dune showcases her resilience and talent.

Silo's Rebecca Ferguson joined the Mission Impossible franchise in 2015 and started gaining the wide recognition she deserved, but her movie debut came over a decade before that in an obscure Swedish horror that received terrible reviews. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation was Ferguson's first Hollywood movie, coming off of a Golden Globe-nominated performance in the BBC miniseries, The White Queen, but she spent the first part of her career in her home country of Sweden. After starring in multiple Swedish soap operas, Ferguson was recruited to join director Mikael Hafstrom's 2004 slasher, Drowning Ghost.
