Half Light is Brilliant January 24, 2009
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
A little bit of "The Shining" and a little bit of Demi Moore's own "Ghost" this movie is absorbing and yes my wife and I jumped off the couch at the same time. A fine woven tale with magnificent scenery and possibly the best acting that Demi Moore has ever done, which is saying a lot. A 99 cent rental worthy of a movie theatre price!

Half Light Pleasant Surprise January 26, 2009
By RH
Format:Amazon Instant Video
What a pleasant surprise... script, setting, photography, acting, nothing truly outstanding yet all fit together for me like a deep, slowly moving river...a cerebral, visual, audio and intellectual meditation. Much of the innuendo of the script was obvious, much was not, found myself enjoying the second guessing to the ending. One never knows...ah cannot give anything away, for me it was good, I felt good at the ending, listened to the music while reading the credits, the mellowness like after a long run...endorphin doing their thing. This is a "dare to try it movie"...try it at the right time and be surprised by joy, or at least the warmth of a nice merlot.

Half Light, full depth February 18, 2009
Format:Amazon Instant Video
Surprisingly excellent movie. Not your basic ghost thriller. I would have rated it 5 stars except I never got to know any of the characters well enough to really care what happened to them, one way or another.

Bottom line: Creepy enough to give you the willies, twisted enough to keep you interested and well executed enough to keep you from getting annoyed with cheesy sets, off character wardrobes and low grade CG.

The absolutely stunning scenery almost completely eliminates the need for CG. Which is minimal and fairly well done. Sorry, but nobody will never beat the Americans on CG [except maybe the Japanese].

Demi's acting lacks depth as usual but don't be put off; the supporting cast is brilliant and picks right up for her. Just enough mystery to keep you wondering till the finale, but not over the top on any account. This is a movie with a twisted plot that won't leave you frustrated with obvious paradoxical contradictions; nothing is done or shown that absolutely forbids how the plot plays out.

Good one!
This was just right for me. Good flick. I'm out of time, else I'd explain why. I really enjoyed it.

Wonderful Thriller!
I had no idea of what to expect with this movie, nor of it's existence. I am so glad I ran across it! Demi Moore fans will love her hauntingly beautiful performance. Read more

Things that are well done need little comment; this is a special case of that standard: I comment only to draw attention to what is without doubt art...

Fantastic
What a great, very classy movie. Demi Moore needs to be getting big roles. A true, talented star. We need you Demi. Hollywood needs you.

Ghostly
Well done story. I love the way this slowly builds and unravels, and is never quite what it seems. Ghost story and mystery all rolled into one. Read more

Suspenseful, But Predictable
This movie was okay, but not well-acted. Never have liked Demi. Okay, some moments of chills, but overall very predictable.

Very Pedictable
There aren't many (if any) real surprises in this movie. The publisher's description of the husband's novel is, ironically, the perfect description of the movie: not sufficiently... Read more

Worth watching
A wonderful ghost story and it wasn't what I expected, but the twist was great. I was intrigued because it starred Demi Moore, although it could have been scarier. Read more
