Goofs:
Factual errors:
In all phone calls Rachel makes, the ringing sound of all the calls is a foreign long ring in equidistant intervals. This is used in many parts of the world and the particular 'note' of the sound is mainly an American tone. British phone ring-tones are sequences of two tone/pulses and therefore completely different. All the people Rachel calls are in Britain.
User Review
Eerie Little Thriller
Rating:
This movie is good, well acted, well scripted, well directed, and above
all, it will keep you guessing to the end, I do not know enough about
"The Technical Side" of movie making to comment, all i know is, if i
see a film i like, or for that matter dislike, then i will make a
comment on it, after all its only entertainment. Too many times you
read about the, ins and outs of film making, and all the back stage
stuff, when really all you want to know is, will i enjoy this film, and
the answer to Half Light is yes, no swearing, very little sex
content,just a nice put together thriller, enough twists and turns to
keep the momentum going. i am trying to find something to moan about in
this movie, and to be quite honest there is nothing, Demi Moore is very
good in the lead role, and the mainly British cast is excellent Go see
it, judge for yourself, i do not think you will be disappointed.
