More televisual than cinematic, Half Light is too chocolate boxy and clean to be completely convincing, but it's a diverting enough story.
if you strip away all the references to other films, and all the play on genres, what remains is a film without its own soul, as insubstantial, and as difficult to credit, as a spectre half-glimpsed through the Scottish mist.
Demi Moore is used to the odd supernatural love story (Ghost, 1990) and she works hard at Rachel, but the screenplay just isn't up to the genre. It's not super, it's not that natural and it's not very thrilling ... the end result is not even half right.
There's a pleasingly Hitchcockian feel to this entertainingly old-fashioned thriller and writer-director Craig Rosenberg pulls off several impressive twists so that you're never quite sure just where the story's going.
This moody thriller is fairly strong on gothic creepiness, but not so good with actual thrills.
Cinematic Sominex that feels like it was tailor-made for immediate simultaneous broadcast on the Lifetime Channel and the Oxygen Network.
Lame and tame ghost thriller. Average acting, honestly can't even be bothered to review it, it was that meh.

There are many elements to this film that make it a cheesy predictable Horror movie and at the same time it has some likable qualities. Ironically I liked Demi Moore in this more humble role better than many of her Hollywood roles. Entertaining, predictable, but a good watch (in a bad film kind of way)
