Old-fashioned in the worst sense, Bardwell's ghost story is heavy on Freud, light on fear.

A die hard skeptic, he dismisses one eerie incident after another, until the haunting turns so personal and vicious, Becket's cool, unemotional veneer begins to unravel. Whispers in the night, things he sees in the darkness, clues of a horrible secret, turn our rationalist into a terrified and reluctant seeker. A seeker of a truth so unspeakable it could destroy him. And the mystery, always just out of reach down the darkened hall, is not fully revealed until the film's final moments. And even then, it leaves a tantalizing question. --© IFC Films [More]

Reviews for The Skeptic
Bardwell writes and directs carefully though without inspiration, leaving open the question of whether the house is really haunted.
I'll take a bunch of teenagers terrorized by chain-saw-wielding zombies any day.
