The Skeptic

(login to rate)

Following the mysterious “death by fright” of his aunt, Bryan Becket (Tim Daly) separates from his wife (Andrea Roth) and young son to move into the elderly woman’s purportedly haunted Victorian mansion. THE SKEPTIC that he is, he dismisses one eerie incident after another as natural phenomena: scratches from inside a locked closet, objects disappearing, a strange seizure suffered by his law partner (Tom Arnold). Then a more secular fright occurs: it appears the mansion, which Becket believed to be his rightful inheritance, has been willed to someone else. He learns the beneficiary is a professor (Bruce Altman) of a paranormal lab at a renowned science institute. The professor informs Becket that his aunt reported many frightening incidents to be investigated after her passing. As the occurrences grow stronger, their personal nature prompts the professor to suggest to our mortified skeptic, that he seek psychiatric help - that he may be haunting himself! Now the deterioration of Becket’s stoicism accelerates alongside the intensifying haunting while the local priest and Becket’s own psychiatrist seem to both know more than they’ll reveal.
