A family of paranormalists investigates the strange goings-on at a high school still reeling over a student's very public suicide in this teen
thriller.
Hangman's Curse concerns the further exploits of the Veritas Group, a loose collective of people committed to researching supernatural mysteries. The group's members include the Springfield family -- parents
Nate (
David Keith) and
Sarah (
Mel Harris) and
Elisha (
Leighton Meester) and
Elijah (
Douglas Smith) -- whose current assignment takes them to the aforementioned high school. There, they find that
Abel, the teen who took his life, had been long ostracized by various cliques in the school -- jocks, popular kids, and the like -- all of whom are falling prey to mysterious ailments. As
Nate and
Sarah watch from the sidelines, it's up to
Elisha and
Elijah to pose as students to get inside the mystery.
Hangman's Curse was based on the novel by Christian author
Frank Peretti.
