Oh wow! I loved this. A fantastic follow-up to The Shining! These films will definitely be a double feature I watch again in the future. The entire cast was great but I must say for me Kyliegh Curran stole the show in the part of Abra and Ewan McGregor was great as an adult Danny. I can't recommend this one higher. And if you really want a treat watch it right after The Shining for an awesome double feature!

Just what I expected: A fun CGI spectacle. The action was well done. I liked the effects. I hope they will not age as badly as the original Tron did.
I read that there is a sequel planned, which continues right after the finale of this one. I hope this because I am curious how it will continue.

Fear Itself Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

2. Spooked
While on a stakeout in a haunted house,  a private eye hired by a mysterious woman is forced to confront the demons of his past.

Stars:
Eric Roberts
Cynthia Watros
Jack Noseworthy
Larry Gilliard Jr.
Liam James

My Thoughts:
This is one of the few that I have seen before. Spooked is the second one to air... so this one is actually in the right spot in the set. It is one of the good episodes... I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I will say it was a little on the weird side. But it has a good ghost story atmosphere to it. Definitely worth watching.

My Rating:
