Psychologist Dr. Margaret Matheson and her
physicist assistant Tom Buckley investigate paranormal occurrences. They specialize in exposing frauds and
they don’t believe true examples exist.
They also teach a university class on how to spot “red lights” which are
clues revealing the trickery behind the so-called supernatural. Mystic Simon Silver has been away from the
public eye for many years since his number one critic died at his last
appearance. He’s suddenly back on
the scene and scheduling various venues across the country. Tom tries to convince Margaret to go
after him but she believes he was investigated fully during his first career. Strange things start to happen to Tom
and Margaret soon after his insistence that they go after Silver.
I would not think Robert DeNiro as a spoon
bending blind clairvoyant in my ideas for movie castings? The first two-thirds of this film are
very good but the last one-third leaves you going HUH? Everything grinds to a halt and runs
away from the substantial groundwork established in the beginning. 3* (This movie is OK)
