The Eclipse (1:26) 2009

A shop teacher in an Irish seaside town is adjusting to life without his wife who died several years earlier. Michael has two children and a father-in-law in a local nursing home. The town of Cobh is having a literary festival and Michael is a volunteer. He is assigned to drive Lena, one of the authors, to and from the festival. Michael is intrigued when he hears Lena, as Lena has written a book of ghosts. Michael is hearing strange noises in the house, having vivid dreams and has a vision of his father-in-law, in a decaying form, one night as he is driving home. Michael and Lena get to know each other but Nicholas, another visiting writer, keeps intruding as he had a fling with Lena in the past. Nicholas has a drinking problem and lets Lena know of his resentment of her attention to Michael. How will this trio resolve all their issues?  The Eclipse is a movie that is part drama, romance, and horror. There were a couple of brief scenes that gave me the creeps but this was balanced with quiet and sweet scenes between Michael and Lena. I am not of fan of any type of horror but this had a different quality. It is a straight forward movie, no razzle-dazzle, just good old fashion acting with a decent and unusual plot.
