Widow's Walk

Firstly I liked the setting and the attempt to set up some kind of old fashioned ghost story. That kid in the movie got on my nerves. Not that he was a bad actor but he shouted everything. Too loud man! Also he must have been about 12/13 and shes tucking him into bed. Then a vision of the ghost deceased father who was carrying him up to bed later on. Whats all that about. The old lady got on my wick. Babbling on and on. Entering the leads house at will whenever she wished. How thick was the lead lady after the gas was left on she goes to light a match. Stopped by the old goose. By the end I had lost all interest and will for life. cheap ghost story that never went anywhere.

A very well made indie horror film. Not in the traditional sense of horror - there aren't jump scares galore but it is horror in the psychological sense. It's beautifully shot and the soundtrack is excellent. The scenery is grey, cold and depressing reminding me of Under The Skin. Great acting from the lead characters. Would definitely recommend it

Sorry to say so, but there is close to 0% horror, perhaps, 0.5% tops and most important, absolutely no climax. Sure there will be a closure, which will happen only to shock the viewer a little, but overall this movie was a swing and a miss.

It takes a small forever to happen, to develop, to make the scrip move further and provide something interesting, I waited and waited hoping that perhaps I will get a glimpse of a turning point, a deciding moment, one that will turn everything around, but excepting the absolute last 2 minutes, there will be no such thing. It will take a great load of patience and possibly some alcohol involved in order to fully view Widow's Walk without losing interest, because it has so little to offer.

I didn't get the point of the movie, surely I did understand it, for sure, but I do believe we all could have lived without it. It is a rather dull production, maybe, just maybe hanging on the neo-noir atmosphere that is long gone, because some traits of it, like the soundtrack and different scenes, did seem to have its roots there, but still, nonetheless, this movie isn't for everyone. I surely will not recommend it, for it brought nothing to the table.

Cheers!

This movie is atmospheric and beautifully shot but not much else. The mystery, if you can call it that is very predictable. The scares are not very scary and there is not much to the spookyness that is abroad. But, all that said, the cast is good and believable and the story is touching. It is also a feast fo the eyes, and ears. The score is beautiful and compliments the breathtaking vistas and epicness of the coastline. There are worse ways to spend an evening.

A most unusual story that I guess you could categorise as a ghost story, it certainly raises lots of questions at the end.

An atmospheric start, various characters come and go and you're never entirely sure how they all fit in. I felt the early scenes needed to be supported by an underscore, somehow the English accent sounded flat against the vastness. The director loves a close up and there are some striking shots, I wonder if this was sometimes focused on at the expense of the story.

I felt it had flaws and yet somehow it completely drew me in. Certainly a fascinating movie to watch.
