Review of Half Light

Half Light (2006)
7/10
Demi Moore was great, but...

I liked the movie because I was in a very forgiving mood.

Demi Moore's performance was great, but I couldn't help but wonder if she called Bruce Willis after reading the script to say "I see dead people too".

The problems I have with the story is that it's one part murder mystery, two parts Harlequin Romance, and a little Ghost (yes, with Patrick Swazey). But, hey I rolled with it because I don't have anything against those genres.

What I did mind was all the things left unexplained. What was the foreign language everyone chattered in all about? Was that suppose to be some ancient Gaelic language they all turned to when they wanted to talk behind someone's back?

Why would the authorities be so quick not to suspect Rachel, the only living survivor who was just acting all crazy?

Why was the fake stabbing of her best friend even necessary?

Are we to assume the drowning of her son was no accident? Wouldn't that have gotten in the way of the inheritance?

Regardless, if you just roll with it, and like Demi Moore then you'll have a good time.
