After the mysterious death of his Aunt, a confirmed skeptic lawyer, Bryan Becket, dismisses reports that his Aunt's house is haunted and moves in. Immediately occurrences begin he cannot explain. And beyond the occurrences there is something about the house which gnaws at Becket - some strange connection he senses he has with the house's past. Soon, the haunting turns personal, he hears voices suggesting clues to a deep mystery. He questions his sanity, seeks medical help, but instead finds assistance in a young psychic who immediately declares, "There's a very bad secret in this house." Together they embark on a terrifying journey to uncover the secret - a journey which leads them deep into the recesses of The Skeptic's own troubled mind.
Leave your thoughts about The Skeptic.
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippOld-fashioned in the worst sense, Bardwell's ghost story is heavy on Freud, light on fear. |
| Village VoiceEd GonzalezThough a few scary skeletons (and one doll) rattle in and out of the film's closet, Bardwell is a slave to television lexicon, allowing Bryan and his lawyer buddy (Tom Arnold) to brave the banter of shrill detective comedies, and framing his images with all the brio of your average "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" episode. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank LoveceIt's all an earnest effort, three decades too late. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe Skeptic turns into a cut-and-dried Freudian melodrama that gives repressed memory a supernatural dimension. I'll take a bunch of teenagers terrorized by chain-saw-wielding zombies any day. |
| User ReviewJenniferBExcellent A great thriller, without the gore... A good watch. |
| User ReviewbetsyjI thought this film was great! fun, suspenseful--I really liked it as did the friend with me! very good job by all the actors...I would recommend it. |
| User ReviewDavidJA terrific and suspenseful (though sometimes understated) ghost story with strong performances by nearly everyone in the cast. However, the major revelation is Tim Daly, arguably giving his finest performance to date. A thinking person's horror film. |
| User ReviewglobalnomadIt's eleven years later and I'm looking at this movie through a nostalgic prism, and I'm enjoying most of it. Some of the dialogue early on is overblown, but I can overlook that to appreciate the whole. The public, frankly, doesn't appreciate an understated ghost movie. Intellectuals don't tend to watch the genre at all, and the rest expect The Conjuring *at all times.* This one is what I'd call a cozy, old-fashioned psycho-ghost story that builds. Yes, people, you have to give it time to build. True, it lags a bit for the first 20 minutes, but you get rewarded if you're in the mood for a soothing, old-fashioned thriller to watch at home with something nice to drink and somebody nice to drink and watch with. |
| User ReviewtiparHorror is to try to see this slow-paced boring movie without at least popcorn. |
| User ReviewBillHAwful, reminded me of the 1980's. Who wasted their money to make this sorry movie. |
