A suffocating, completely unimaginative 90 minute slog that all adds up to: what, exactly? If there are any stakes in this drama, high or low, then I somehow managed to miss them

The Belfast-born actor plays a widower who experiences disturbing nightmares. An encounter with two authors (played by Aidan Quinn and Iben Hjejle) brings them all closer to a haunting reality that should be confined to horror novels. [More]

Reviews for Eclipse
The Eclipse shoots willy-nilly for too many registers of fear, and it never emanates a confident sense of what we are learning about these men and women by watching them panic, shudder, and second-guess themselves.
A much duller tale than its Irish literary festival setting would suggest.
