Synopsis:

After the mysterious death of his Aunt, a confirmed sceptic, lawyer Bryan Becket dismisses reports that her 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 houses past. Soon the haunting turns personal, he hears voices suggesting clues to a deep mystery. He questions his sanity, seeks medical and spiritual help, but instead finds assistance in a young psychic who immediately declares There is 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 Beckets own troubled mind.

"The Skeptic," written and directed by Tennyson Bardwell, wants to be a haunted house movie for grownups, if such an oxymoron is possible. That means that there are no thrill-seeking teenage daredevils whose curiosity incites a bloodbath at the hands of undead spirits. There are no jarring shocks, only discreet tingles, as Bryan Becket (Tim Daly), a lawyer, stubborn rationalist and all-around sourpuss, investigates strange happenings in the three-story Victorian house his late aunt came to believe was haunted. "The 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.

When the forty year old skeptical lawyer Bryan Becket 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 and his son to live in the house while selling it and give an opportunity to Robin to rethink their relationship. However his partner Sully advises him that his aunt had a will and the house would belong to the institute of technology managed by Dr. Warren Koven that research sleeping disorders. Bryan visits Dr. Koven and meets his psychic patient Cassie. Sooner Bryan is haunted by whispers and voices and discovers that the unknown is more frightening than any reality.
