Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Nice effects though.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Frankly I'm rather incensed that on the basis of the dazzling reviews attributed to Steven Smith I wasted nearly two hours on his debut offering. Have they all been written by his pals? The action clunks along, the music is irritating and over used, the script is simply dire and the actors (with the exception of the gardener) mediocre at best. I do think we should support the efforts of a young filmmaker but saying it's brilliant when it's not will surely only encourage him to make the same mistakes again i.e. continuing to write his own scripts and using the same actors for another venture. Yes, it's his first film, low budget etc. - I get it, but it's also out there for members of the public to purchase and it's just not up to scratch.

Steven M.Smith. A name to remember, a future light of UK independent film making. Time of her life, is a very impressive first effort from this writer/director, as indeed too was his directorial debut of notable admiration. But the real triumph was his almost single handed quest, dogged determination, and a shear single-minded focus, to achieve the ultimate goal of making that first movie. Steven's first effort should be noted, as a beacon to all would be filmmakers. why? Because he's done it, he's made that journey of ups and downs. He held the whole production together with string and gaffer tape, whilst juggling cast/crew and finances with both hands tied behind his back. When he ran out of money and the usual doors slammed in his face, he somehow found enough to keep going. At the end of it all, I guess this films entire journey will probably have taken over two years of his life, maybe even more, and in all that time I know his dedication would not have dropped below 110%. All young would be filmmakers, or old, need to learn from people like Steven, as this guy has completed the journey on which many of them wish to travel. And for all of Steven's endeavours he now has to his credit a truly wonderful first time independent feature. Well Done!

Saw the movie recently and was very impressed by Director Steven M Smith's debut. It is a really good story, a mixture of romance, lost love, and scary ghost story. Set in modern day with a cross-over into 200 years in the past, which worked very well, the 'herione' discovers links to a tragedy that has created a lovelorn ghost searching for his lost lady love. It was beautifully shot, located in a Gothic mansion and its grounds. The music score was exceptional, and fitted the action and romantic scenes very well. I enjoyed it thoroughly!! Considering it was (by comparison with today's movie budgets) a 'low cost' film, it was as well produced as the 'big bucks' movies. When it comes out on DVD I will certainly be adding it to my movie collection. More from Mr. Smith please!!!

I had the pleasure in watching this movie at Cannes in May and considering it was made for less than nothing it was a very well put together feature. The buzz was it had a real ghost caught on film and true, there it was, a silver orb floating behind the older actor in a scene straight out of Pride and Predujice. I looked into this and it is apparently very rare to film an orb in daylight!!!! Where do I get these things from? Watched too many "Most Haunted" episodes I guess!! This is a must buy if when it is released. The story was excellent, it's simpleness was it's charm!! Want to get this on DVD. When is it released? Anybody help out?
