More Half Cock than Hitchcock
By Butler from Colchester, England , 28 Aug 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
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!- Was this review helpful to you?

HALF LIGHT
By Kernowique (23 reviews) from Truro , 24 Feb 2011This film is corny in execution of the cliched story line. Much of the acting is wooden and even Demi Moore at times appears bored with the lines she has to deliver. As for the Scottish scenery I recognised Cornwall, Angelsey and no hint of Scotland which is part of the reason I was tempted to hire it. Having watched it once that is more than enough!- Was this review helpful to you?

Traditonal ghost story
By BigMeUp (281 reviews) from Midlands, UK , 12 Jan 2011It's quite easy to work out early on who is doing what to whom, but the introduction of the possibility of the presence of one or more ghosts lends a suitably chill to the proceedings.
It is true that the film is cliched. The writer(s) should have avoided such motifs as the dream-within-a-dream, empty swings swinging nevertheless and other sundry devices.
Still, some other reviewers worry that the film was made in Wales rather than Scotland, which is pure hubris and in no way detracts from the movie, whilst others worry that Demi's bum is too small to make her a believable author!
I think if you put such foolish criticisms aside, you might enjoy the film. If, however, you are a stickler for complicated plots and you hate cliches, you'll probably want to give this one a miss.
I enjoyed it.- Was this review helpful to you?
