At first I thought this would be a really silly attempt at horror, butI have to admit that I watched a lot of this movie through my fingers that were covering my face. I thought the creatures/ghosts/ whatever they were were quite unique and frightening. I wish the reason for all the haunting would have been explained better. One other goof I noticed was the door the bank teller goes to to get the manager in the very beginning - that sure looked like a late 20th century door to me! It had the little window in it reinforced with chicken wire, like the doors to high school classrooms. Definitely a movie NOT to watch alone, though.

Half Light
(2006)
Distraught author seeks solace over son's death on remote Scottish seacoast. Things are not as they seem!
5 February 2006
I enjoyed this movie a lot since I love horror/mystery/thriller/ghost stories. However, I would put this in the category of ghost story/love story. I think Demi was Demi - not great, but good. I thought it was interesting that they have her coupled with someone almost 20 years younger than she is, just like her real life. I do question some of the scenery. The village looks authentic Scottish with plaster and stone houses. However, the cottage, looks pure Appalacian mountain cabin - certainly not able to withstand hard weather in that part of the British Isles. Also, the lighthouse looks more USA than Scotland. The rest of the scenery looked genuine. I loved the musical score and the GREAT twist at the end. It really leaves you wondering about some things, and that's why I watched it again the next day. I do recommend this movie! I wish it had been based on a novel so I could clear up some questions I still have.
