During the past few years, Ireland has largely made news due to its economic collapse. But one of the other things to come from the Emerald Isle was Conor McPherson's odd movie "The Eclipse". It focuses on a recently widowed man (Ciarán Hinds) who starts seeing eerie things while developing a relationship with a writer (Iben Hjejle). I should say that the movie has an overall interesting plot, contrasting the man's eerie visions with his struggle with an obnoxious author (Aidan Quinn) for the writer, but has sort of a vague, abrupt conclusion. As with a lot of thrillers, it seems like the sort of movie that they probably made knowing that it wasn't going to be any kind of groundbreaking movie. Still, a few scenes are certain to make you jump!
