Midnight BayouHarvard-educated lawyer Declan Fitzpatrick impulsively gives up his settled life to buy Manet Hall, a newly restored plantation manor near New Orleans to which he has always found himself drawn. Legend has it that the house is haunted, and shortly after Declan moves in he starts hearing voices and seeing things. Declan is also distracted by an undeniable attraction to Cajun local Lena Simone, who grew up on the bayou with her grandmother Odette and has her own deep connection to the manor. Living in the house, Declan begins to have visions from a century past and details of events that took place in the mansion. With the help of Odette, Declan and Lena realize that they are inextricably linked with Manet Hall and uncover a shocking secret that has been hidden there for more than 100 years.

This is my favorite Nora Roberts movie! It is wondefully done and is not to be missed. Whether or not you believe in haunted southern mansions or not, when you watch this movie, you have to consider the possiblity. What a beautiful southern mansion. The main charactors, have great actresses and actors behaind them. Bravo for the screen play!

This is certainly an odd movie. It is a romance/thriller – not particularly scary, but maybe not a date movie either. Much of the plot is driven by historical events and pseudo reincarnation. Despite that, the movie is somewhat entertaining. The plot takes a few interesting twists and turns. The acting is passable, if not great. Obviously, the whole ordeal requires you to suspend disbelief (spirits, love at first sight, etc.), but if you do this movie turns out to be not so bad.

I actually really liked this one, suspensefull, interesting and compelling. I would recommend this movie over any of the other Nora Roberts Movie.

I love most Nora Roberts’ books and have thought several of the movie adaptations were ok. But this one seemed really to left field of the book what with active ghosts and fortune tellers. I could have handled that if there had been some believable sparks between the main characters. I most likely won’t be buying more of her movies.

I like all of the movies in the Nora Roberts collection! If you’re a woman, it’s almost sacriligious not to. I especially liked this one as it is set in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. That being said, the crazy “plot twist” of the male lead being reincarnated as a woman and the female lead being reincarnated as man, was a little off-putting — hence, the four stars instead of five. Faye Dunnaway is superb as the spooky grandmother.
