THESE days ghost stories tend to be of the slasher variety. Half Light is not.
It is rather an old-fashioned ghost story (though the references in the press kit to Hitchcock seem a little too ambitious) which most audiences could sit through. It has the romantic touches as well.
However, there is a nice twist at the end and the ghost story we think we are watching is not the ghost story we should be concentrating on!
Demi Moore came over to the UK to star as an award-winning bestseller novelist.
She carries the film quite well, a bereaved mother who retreats to the Scottish coast and meets a charming lighthouse keeper.
Then the complications come as her best friend, her husband and her doctor are all concerned about her, let alone the puzzled locals.
The film is beautiful to look at, the Welsh coast standing in for Scotland.
It is not a swift-paced thriller. Rather, it ambles along most of the time, an easy entertainment.
