The Skeptic

When Bryan (Daly) goes down to the wine cellar and gets a bottle of wine (at about 45 min.

mark), it appears to be a brown bottle with a white label.

It looks the same when the scene shifts to him trying to open the trunk.

But a few moments later, when the scene shifts to him sitting at the table eating, with the bottle of wine quite obvious, talking about "what's in the trunk".

The wine bottle is green with an obviously colorful label.

TIM DALY stars as a skeptical lawyer with no belief in the supernatural who moves into the house of a deceased aunt when his marriage breaks up. He soon believes that he's not alone in the creepy mansion and begins to doubt his sanity after some encounters of a ghostly kind that might just be happening in his head.

This was the worst I've seen in a long time. How Tim daly gets work is beyond me.

Has interesting skepticism when it comes to hauntings. We have a character who helps the lead in disproving spirits, which was interesting and the way it was done made sense.

The movie begins and constructs itself with a pretty decent structure. It often shocks you with a sudden unexpected horror tricks and you've to spare those scenes even if your mind says that its a cliché.

As this movie was all lead-up and no end, I'll aim to restore the cosmic balance by making this review essentially all end with no real lead-up. NOTE: this review is, in it's entirety, nothing but one big spoiler.

When the forty year old skeptical lawyer Bryan Becket (Timothy Daly) receives a phone call late night, he is informed that his distant aunt had just died and he can only think in the inheritance of her manor. Becket decides to leave his wife Robin Becket (Andrea Roth) and his son to live in the house while selling it and give an opportunity to Robin to rethink their relationship.

When a relative passes, a man inherits her decrepit old mansion and coming to learn she believed it haunted sets out to prove it was simply a matter of unrecognizing everyday events around her unaware of a deadly secret lurking within its walls.This here turned out to be an incredibly dull and barely worthwhile entry.

For a huge Horror fan such as myself, one of the more frustrating and/or disappointing experiences in regards to films is watching one I've mistaken to be Horror when it isn't. This has happened to me more times than I'd care to admit while seeking out new films to watch (and by "new" I mean films I haven't watched yet) using the keyword "haunting" - as these many times turned out to be no more than dramas.
