I am unsure why this film has received such negative reviews. It's not the most original or the greatest film ever but it is definitely worth watching. It's nicely paced and although you can figure out most of the elements quite quickly, the denouement is still quite satisfying. One reviewer wrote that it is ant-climactic but I beg to disagree. The acting is decent and the cinematography is excellent. Don't approach it with preconceptions and just appreciate this simple story.

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.

I have an inkling that the 2 to 3 votes are from viewers under 40 and the 8 to 10 from viewers over 40. You have to have lived life to appreciate this film. Beautiful story and visuals, good acting, a poignant ghost story. If you're looking for special effects and scare tactics, this movie isn't for you.

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!

Took me a while to figure out what kind of film I was watching and I don't think I did. It was spooky and I was waiting for something that didn't happen. I was happy when it ended but I found myself depressed. Of course Woman Overboard is a great tune.

What a disappointing movie. It starts a little promising - a few motives, characters, and some period detail (if all a little "clean" and theatrical if you know what I mean). Then gradually you realise that everything that is glaringly obvious and predictable IS actually what is happening - and its a long, painful process watching it play out just as you expect it to, without any charisma or conflict or any substance of a voice emerging. There's nothing to make you go "ah! That's interesting!" whatsoever. This is one of those films that you watch and think the writer and director got to make a feature film and get it out of their system, but that's it, a tick on the items box, an anecdote, nothing less nothing more. All in all rather poor.

Where to start... how about the acting, which is at worst mediocre and at best acceptable after consumption of two bottles of wine. Then there is the pacing, or lack of it, the plot holes that will give sink holes a run for their money, and the dull as dishwater ending and "climax", or lack there of... this is in all honesty one of the most mediocre films I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few stinkers in my life time! Avoid...

Those giving this film <5 stars I swear are trolling IMDB. Compared to most of the dross being vomited out by filmmakers of late, Widow's Walk was enigmatic, poignant, and beautifully filmed.

While it isn't in the same league as The Others, the story is elegantly developed over time, giving chance to reflect on the themes, the characters, and the part they play in telling the story.

This is not a wham-bam-thank-you-mam movie - if you want endless ghouls jumping out of cupboards every five minutes, or characters played by Hollywood's tinsel town fraternity, then you'd better look elsewhere.

This is a film for intelligent audiences who are capable of making up their own minds; who want space to consider the themes being explored - whether it's the psychological impact of losing a partner, or questioning the very notion of the paranormal.

Not everything needs to be spelt out - sometimes it's good to show things in a way that encourages the audience to reflect on what's being revealed.

For example, one reviewer here didn't like the way Eve seemed nonplussed by her interactions with the house's past residents. Given she has just lost her husband in a horrific and bloody modern war, perhaps she's numb to all that's going on around her. Only her son provides something tangible on which to cling. Everything else is just noise. Perhaps she believes it's her state of mind producing these ghost-like apparitions and nothing more.

(After all, anyone who's been overly tired will have experienced fleeting glimpses of figures disappearing into the shadows . . .)

I would certainly recommend this film - just watch with an open mind, and decide for yourself.

Terrible acting. Dreary story. Not even Virginia McKenna could save it. I was hoping it would change my mind about David Caves, as he ruins Silent Witness for me, but no......it doesn't. I give it one star because the actors turned up!

Having lost my own father at 11 years old, and having watched my mother go through the grief and hopelesness that comes with the loss of a close family member, I was definately a little biased towards this movie from the outset. That being said, Widow's Walk does a tremendous job of portraying the aspects of grief that come with the premise of the movie. Horror fans looking for quick scares will be sorely dissapointed, as the movie is pretty much void of those. But those familiar with the true losses of life will find a reckognizable theme in the film, even down to the "grey" colours of the movie perfectly portraying what those times are recounted as in their memory, down to the mother finally having the courage again to don a dress in front of the mirror and putting on lipstick. Infinately sad, but brilliant.

While Widows Walk is classified as a Horror Movie, it is to be seen through the lens of tragedy, rather than fright. It does an incredible job of encapsulating the feeling of grief into film, and at the end of it all, that is the greatest horror that life has to offer; the loss of those close to us, and how we deal with it. The storyline involved, while slow-paced and somewhat predictable, is second to the emotions that this movie carries, especially for those familiar with these emotions.

A deep and touching movie, more than warranting a solid score.

Widows Walk is a ghost story we seen this a million times before but never quie this amateurish. I saw this a few month's back and recall the many plot holes that the sketchy acting didn't allow me to overlook. The cinematography is fairly decent, but it's the only positive I could glean, and nothing really to shout out about otherwise. I am a fan of slow movies, but this film's slowness is really down to a lack of substance in the narrative arc, that goes nowhere because the writer had to fill up space until the predictable ending. In all honesty this film should have been a short film. There is far too little in here to warrant 2 hours of my time.

The acting is lame and the story arc is incoherent so I'm assuming the director was a bit lost here. The story often doesn't make sense. The characters are rather uninspired. Some parts are total cringe or shallow. If you have a spare 2 hours and find watching paint dry to be a fun way to spend 2 hours, then you might enjoy this one.

And I'm British. I actively avoid British films because of the stupidly thick accents and the swearing. Most of us British don't swear every other word and some of us have quite acceptable manners

I really wanted to like this film but at every step of the way it got steadily worse and worse until my eyes became heavier and heavier and all I wanted to do was sleep and not waste a second more. Where it not for the shoddy sound of the film, I would have probably enjoyed a long snooze, but alas this film is so bad that my dreams may have turned into nightmares. Another example of why this industry is saturated with sub-par content. A no-suspense and generous 1/10.

I usually tend to write reviews of film's I admire, but in 'Widows Walk' case, I'm making an exception to the rule. Having watched this on Prime, I must say the only redemption was the ability to stop playing the film half-way, however I refrained as I genuinely wanted to watch the film to get a more rounded perspective. The first thing I can say is that either the screenplay behind this film is awful, or the inept direction ruins any substance it may have had. The issue here is that as a viewer we don't care about the characters, who seem paper thin and who seem to keep falling through plot holes. This lends the film a very inconsistant form, that makes it almost unwatchable.

I loved this film; a slow burn ghost story with nods to M. R. James and Susan Hill. The film captures the bleak beauty of the Suffolk coastline and uses the setting to eerie effect. This film is definitely not a horror, which is the genre it may be lazily lumped into on streaming services, but is a ghost story in the above mentioned styles. If you like those types of stories I suggest you have a watch.

I sat through this film tonight. Halfway through I started twitching and my seat started to become uncomfortable, and then I started looking at my watch - the limits of boredom were being challenged. When making a film, the writer needs the viewer to connect with the characters in order to ensure that the quieter sections of the film still engage. This didn't have that. The pacing was mediocre.

This is the sort of film you want to watch on Christmas Eve, a traditional ghost story that's gentle, sad and haunting. No special effects, CGI, or gung ho ghost busters, just a tale of grieving and how losing a loved one can consume your life. It it a slow burn, but what's wrong with that for a change?

When I came across this film on Amazon Prime I know exactly the kind of mood it would be. I think the team has been clever finding the right poster look and font etc. It's a nice chill wee visually interesting ghost story. However....

I think this film's major flaw is the technology and lack of funds. The use of GoPro cameras on sea shots are distracting along with other changes in frame rate. Also the CLEAR de-noising in certain scenes creates inexcusable blur. I'd love to give the person responsible a slap and tell them how to sort that properly 😅

That being said it's actually a very enjoyable film. I know the love interest is a genuine creep but we'll ignore that 😅. The ghost parts are a little laughable but I did get the odd scare.

Normally I'd say this is pretty amateurish but I did find myself genuinely invested. I mean post production issues aside I got invested. I even noticed a minor feature that the ending twist wrapped up and I thought was rather smart as at the time I was thinking "hey wait a minute."

I think this is a visually brilliant film. Great camera work and atmosphere building. You need to slap someone for the post work 😅 but yeah nice work.

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.

What happens when two filmmakers walk into a bar? One of them gets drunk first and the other one stays sober, but they both make a movie each. This film was made by the director, figuratively speaking! Stranger still, for a drunken film it is rather sobering in the derivative sense. The acting is rather stilted and the action of the actors always feels premeditated and never natural. For a horror film, even a psychological one, it isn't so much that there is no horror here or suspense for that matter, but not even the sinueux of good drama. How this gets a 9/10 is beyond a joke, unless of course the joke is on us, the viewers.

Here we have a well done ghost movie that offers beautiful views but very little in story. Getting into any detail about the story would be spoiling it, that how little content the movie actually has. The atmosphere the movie has is nice but can't save it from the fact that it is just horribly boring.

But yeah, it ain't a horrible movie definitely compared to b-class movies I've been watching lately but it can't really make it in the actually good movies category either.
