What happens

Spooked is a 2004 New Zealand film directed by Geoff Murphy and loosely based on Ian Wishart's novel The Paradise Conspiracy, which itself is based on actual events in New Zealand. Partly funded by the New Zealand Film Commission, Spooked had its first screenings in the market at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival where it was first reviewed. The film performed poorly at the box office after some negative reviews despite its cast of prominent New Zealand actors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
