Half Light (2006)

pretty good actually

[7/10 · 10 January 2006]

not a bad movie at all. more of a love story than a ghost story - but the two are woven together pretty successfully. The ending falls short, but the rest of the film is well planned.

Moore is an odd choice for the lead, but she turns out pretty good - despite a general unbelievable reaction to later events in the story ( but this is more script ).

some beautiful cinematography and settings, and a few creepy moments. Some good acting too ( but some mediochre stuff mixed in ). Its clear why this movie was not mainstream enough for the theatre, but its a worthy DVD rental or download. On the whole Its a strange one - i thought it was very good, but also not very good at the same time.

7/10

The Amityville Horror (2005)

Amazingly bad

[1/10 · 27 April 2005]

Like most recent films of the genre this is utter ****. I think the script for the entire film is probably around 5 pages - as usual its just shallow characters creeping around with unfrightening things popping out at predictable moments. And lets not forget the obligatory 'little girl ghost' that you see in every film like this - she raises her ugly head once too often. I'm serious... avoid this film. Why people wasted time making this, is the scariest thing about it. I'm not gonna waste any more breath talking about this film - its already wasted an hour and a half of my life ( but i felt it was necessary to write this to save others the anguish )
