Adding a supernatural element to a romance movie is a good idea, especially when it deals with a widower being prodded by those forces into a relationship. But adding a handful of jump scares was completely out of place.

What the bleep was this all about?

Takes its time getting to just about nowhere.

ruyalar ve hayaletlerden yola cıkarak hayatin irdelendigi filmde yan konu olarak kadin-erkek iliskilerinede deginilmis. anlatmak istedigi derdi var ama kitaptan uyarlanmasinin verdigi zorluktan olsa gerek butunlugunu koruyan bir konusu yok. olusturulan atmosfer, muziklerle film bastan sona kasvetli, duragan bir sekilde ilerliyor. bu durumda izlenimini zorlastirmis.

McPherson's good actors remind you how stage plays generate interest solely through talk and, as The Eclipse gets further away from cinema, a bigger mystery develops: Why is McPherson's filmmaking so uncinematic?

Beautiful scenery. It's a slow -- but moving -- movie using ghosts as symbolism for grief and mourning. Not exactly original by any means, but done well enough. I'm giving props to the lead male actor, giving an understated but effective performance. There are a few scares in here but don't go in really expecting a horror movie because ghosts only show up a few times and the rest of it is a drama, basically.
