Half Light (15)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Half Light opens with a montage of newspaper cuttings and certificates which proclaim that Demi Moore is an award-winning, best-selling novelist who writes all her thrillers on a typewriter. And it gets worse from there. After her son drowns, she travels to a wee Scottish coastal village, taking her designer flat cap with her, and befriends the creepy young man who tends the badly computer-generated lighthouse.
But does he have a dark secret? And could her son be trying to communicate from beyond the grave, using an Etch-a-Sketch and the magnetic letters on the fridge door? Half Light has so many unintentional laughs that it would be quite fun if it weren't so excruciatingly slow, and if it hadn't lifted quite so many scenes from Don't Look Now, Final Analysis, Vertigo and Scooby Doo. Don't expect this embarrassing ghost story to bring Moore's career back from the dead.
