The Eclipse

Ireland Cieran Hinds

This was sort of a ghost story. A widower dealing with two children and a literary festival begins hearing/seeing things that may or may not be there. He sort of hooks up with the author he's driving around...but not really. In fact that was the central problem with this film...it was all a bit too tentative. It lacked commitment.

There have been many ghost stories made that were genuinely scary or creepy and forced the viewer to consider the possible reality of the spirit world. This wasn't one of them.
