Veteran paranormal researchers Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver)
and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) debunk fraudulent claims of ghost
whispering, faith healing and other psychic phenomena by detecting what
Matheson calls "red lights," the subtle tricks behind every staged
supernatural occurrence. But when the legendary blind psychic Simon
Silver (Robert De Niro)comes out of retirement after 30 years, his
once-fearless adversary Matheson warns Buckley to back off, fearing
reprisal from the
powerful Silver.
Determined to discredit Silver, Buckley and his star student (Elizabeth
Olsen) use every tool at their disposal to uncover the truth behind the
charismatic, spoon-bending, mind reader. But Buckley is forced to
reexamine his own core beliefs as his quest builds to a mind-blowing
conclusion in this taut psychological thriller from award-winning writer
and director Rodrigo Cortés.
