martin g Too much music, early on. A weird mish-mash of a scary story, romance, cheap dialogue. Ciaran Hinds was convincing in his grief, but overall the pace and scenes just didn't add up. I had a hard time determining where someone was supposed to be from. Quinn didn't sound American at all, Iben I couldn't say if she's supposed to be English or a UK citizen. Jump scares were so cheap and were there just to have this seen somewhat as a supernatural movie. Skip it. Really. It's childish, shallow, and all over the place. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was something I went into fairly blind, recording it off of our HDMovies channel just because it was a new film at the time, and I was pleased to have it be a decent watch when I finally got around to watching it. The supernatural elements are almost a distraction, if I'm being perfectly honest. The main story is about a love triangle that happens when a widower takes a shine to a writer of ghost stories when she appears at a local literary festival, and the rival author who also fancies her. The visions that our widower keeps having are startling and spooky, but they really of almost feel out of place in the face of the romance and drama. Give it a look, I'd be curious to hear other opinions, see if it worked better for others than it did for me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Here's my take.. Since the love-drama story and horror really don't mix perhaps Michael (Hinds) imagined the whole thing and what we saw in the movie, those jump scares, was his elaborate way to get his story-book to the ghost writer lady since she had connections.. Maybe the unassuming qualities of his role were actually to play the long game and like the drunken obnoxious American writer said before the silly fight scene take advantage to pitch their book ideas to successful writers.. Or it was simply about life being piece together for those left behind after death, romance at late age, drunken, crazy and rich authors with a short lived, unfolded or too obvious, ghost story? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting makes the movie better than it is and it also has some genuinely awesome creepy moments that were so well done. Other than these things, I just didn't care for the film as a whole. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 170127: A horror drama! A soft and gentle love story that will scare the shit out of you. A bit to close to home and caught me off guard on a Friday night alone. I regrettably kept turning up the volume up because I couldn't catch what was being said. Was that done intentionally? Perhaps I wouldn't have suffered so much if I could've found something other than Spanish subtitles. I like this film though I'm not sure I'll be able to watch it again.
