Spooked

Spooked é um filme neozelandês de 2004 dirigido por Geoff Murphy e vagamente baseado no romance de Ian Wishart The Paradise Conspiracy, que por sua vez é baseado em eventos reais na Nova Zelândia. Parcialmente financiado pela New Zealand Film Commission, Spooked teve suas primeiras exibições no mercado no Festival de Cannes de 2004, onde foi avaliado pela primeira vez. O filme teve um desempenho ruim nas bilheterias após algumas críticas negativas despite seu elenco de atores neozelandeses proeminentes. Plot Investigative journalist Mort Whitman (Cliff Curtis) is onto the story of his lifetime, the most important story in the nation. It was huge, involving a big payoff from a multinational bank to a second-hand computer dealer Kevin Jones (Christopher Hobbs). Tracing the days leading up to Kevin's suspicious death, Mort reveals Kevin's increasing paranoia and erratic behaviour through the eyes of his best mate Jimmy Blick (John Leigh) and girlfriend Ruby Elder (Miriama Smith). What dangerous secrets had he stumbled upon? Did the forces - private security, police, SIS or CIA - that increasingly menaced his life, kill him? Or did he simply drink too much and crash his car? Mort is determined to get to the bottom of it if it kills him. Cast
