Thanks for the memories!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I do not know if it's a TV movie or a movie, but the result is a clear Sunday TV movie at three-thirty, but it's scary. The problem is that to be scary, you would have to have a more scary atmosphere and start seeing yourself that it will be scary like half an hour before. You are waiting for the fear to begin and it never comes. In fact, for a few moments it looks more like it's going to be a love movie and when it goes that way, the dyes of fear begin. Well scary for saying something. There is not even suspense in any moment. He leaves questions unanswered and then, of course, as it is assumed that the viewer is a fool, we have to explain everything, well almost everything. He has a photograph that looks like a romantic comedy. The direction has no rhythm and lacks cinematic vision, does not know how to move the camera. At least the costumes, makeup and art are not bad.Spoiler:It bothers me a lot when at the end of the film, the director begins to justify himself. As he has done wrong before and has not managed to direct the film has to show how they have removed the reel. The end is a succession of unexplained explanations.

It's hard for me to be critical of any of Demi Moore's movies since I have been a long time fan. She reminds me so much of Grace Kelly in the sense her beauty at times overshadowed her talent. Now that she has gotten older her talent is forefront-just as the case with Kelly- and how it should have been all along.The movie has been covered in great detail by other reviewers so I'll simply say that Demi Moore was convincing as the lead actor and the film does resemble a Hitchcock revolving plot line. It had me fooled until the very end-although I thought something was up-just not sure what it was.I kind of got a 'Wicker Man' type feeling with all the wonderful scenery and perhaps Lord Summerisle would show up to explain everything.Well done!

i watched 'the dark ' starring Maria Bello then saw this. it's ALMOST the same movie.they should be sold together . they could be remade as two movies or one movie with everyone from both movies. as usual i would've preferred more skin and sex . Demi has gone from looking good to looking for her age but there's life ( and body) in the old girl yet. Maria has small boobies but a nice bum and legs that promise you viewer heaven while taking you to hell ( Bon Jovi reference). oh boy oh boy, oh my oh my , it would be amazing to see beautiful Kate Issit's jaw breaking ,pants dropping massive(*)(*) .

I think the problem with this movie is that it could not decide what it wanted to be. A ghost-story? A psychological thriller? A gore movie? Movies seldom turn out well, when movie-makers mix styles and elements like that. One somehow wants to know what to expect - roughly at least. I, for my part, had hoped for a traditional ghost story - and I was disappointed when it turned out that the culprits were human. And also by all the dead people, violence, and gore. It did not have any good scares either.I think the plot was also wildly improbable. A husband and the wife's best friend falling in love with each other, and cooperating about killing the wife and living off her money. Yes, I can buy that. It has happened. But their plot was too extreme and improbable. There are thousands of ways to kill a person and make it look like an accident or a suicide. Especially as this woman already had a big grief and a lot of bad conscience after her son died. No one would have doubted her reasons to kill herself.But to involve a third person, who wanted his share of the inheritance, and who could blackmail them later...? And to have this person act as a ghost - a very virile, fleshy ghost at that..? And to take the trouble to clean up and furnish the old light-house - and then take everything away again, and make it look as if no one had lived there for eight years..? The longer they stayed in the neighbourhood, the greater the risk that somebody should see them, and recognize them later... Another question: how could they even know of the tragedy in the light-house eight years earlier..? They were not from there.No, this movie was a mistake, I think. I still give it four stars for the craggy nature scenery from Scotland, and some fine love-scenes and mother-child-scenes.
