"Harry Seigal is a private investigator who, several years earlier, was dismissed from the police force after accidentally killing a suspect during interrogation." ~ Fear Itself- Spooked (2008)
HQ Thoughts: "Regardless of what the masses say, this has to easily be one of my favorite shorts from the "Fear Itself" series. I was ecstatic when it came out because I am a HUGE fan of short horror stories of any kind and this was short lived but fun while it lasted.
"Spooked" tells the story of a former police officer named Harry, who had a history of aggression and violence that lead to the eventual killing of a suspect while in his custody. He loses everything including his job and fast forward 15yrs, he is now a private investigator who was put to task by a woman who is trying to see if her husband is cheating while she is gone. A far cry from normal police work.
The house that he has to stake out in is old and dilapidated and he sets up in the upstairs room, in the dark. The madness starts soon after. We find out what makes him tick, what makes him squirm and go crazy as he revisits the core of everything that is causing his ultimate issue. Pretty screwed up.
I don't think this episode disappoints at all and there was some pretty good acting as well. Eric Roberts owned this role.
