In Black Rainbow, Mike Hodges, as writer-director, turns a slight supernatural anecdote into an atmospheric ghost story.

...it’s thoughtful material for a supernatural thriller, and with smart dialogue and good acting from all concerned, Black Rainbow is a great little movie you’ve probably not seen due to a botched release,..

Arquette and Robards are delightful when they chew scenery together, taking any leaps of motivational logic and making them as fun, melodramatic, and even trashy as possible.

An overlooked supernatural thriller that has strong performances and an interesting premise. The story has a tendency to wander, but it is worth watching.
