Review of Half Light

Half Light (2006)
7/10
Nice thriller with a great twist!
31 May 2007
Half Light is a thriller that has a little bit of everything. It has suspense, mystery, a lot of twists (some of them were predictable, but some surprised me a bit!), drama, romance, supernatural, but especially great scenarios! I was amazed by the great landscapes of the Britain's North lands (I think it was filmed in Wales, but there are also some references to Scotland). It's really fantastic all this natural beauty, and it's also a great place to be alone…

When I decided to watch the movie I was expecting a ghost story, a "typical one", and for many minutes, it really seems like one; calm, monotonous, where the main character "see" things that other people can't see… but then something happened…it was a twist that didn't "ruin" the ghost story, but gave it a lot more of suspense and also something new/refreshing… I guess I did like the movie even more because of that twist… (which I won't spoil, of course!)

The soundtrack is also great. The main theme is very melodic and beautiful. It was said in the film it was inspired in a Welsh folk song. I don't know if it is or not, but I really appreciated its melody. It made me remind the main theme of the film "PIANO" (soundtrack by Michael Nyman) which had the same kind of tender and evolving melody…

To sum up, it's a nice film. If you're searching a movie with some great twists, watch this one!
