More Half Cock than Hitchcock
This is not a movie for the purists. It's riddled with clichees, the acting is stilted (Kate Isitt gives a masterclass in how not to act, and I say that as a fan of hers), the script is dazzlingly unoriginal stealing ideas from 'Don't Look Back', 'Wickerman' and about thirty other well known films, and the ending is as predictable as a Bruce Forsyth greeting. However, there are some positives. The film score of Celtic music is fabulous. And you can have loads of fun spotting 'mistakes' such as the fact that the roll of film removed from a camera is completely rewound despite several snaps having been taken. I actually quite enjoyed this DVD, despite the flaws, and my wife thought it was brilliant. If you're desperate for something to watch, and you don't mind B grade horrors, give it a go!

Half Light? Half Wit more like
Pants is too generous a word for this absurd trash. You can hear your brain cells expire over the gentle crashing of the sea, as the utterly unlikeable Demi Moore sulks from scene to scene. One of those films where you keep on wishing something unfortunate is going to happen to the main character throughout.
I know the Hebrides pretty well - the film was supposedly set there, yet filmed on Anglesey! Why why why? It just all felt wrong from the off. There's also a scene early on where the camera twirls around the lighthouse & pans out. Here the film wins a Razzie for 'Worst Ever CGI Scene', which must have been generated on a sinclair zx spectrum.
If you're looking for something a little more hebridean/island, more convincing, with better cgi, more suspense and better acting, try Balamory instead. -
