#Castle season 5 dvd set serial
From the motel, the story begins to pick up speed, narrating the story of serial killer Nigel Malloy.īoth Val and Bennet were witnesses at Malloy's trial, but when it's discovered Malloy died in prison, Kate's focus shifts to Nigel's younger brother, Leopold. He opts to stay and continue scouring the DVD for clues while Kate and Esposito head to the motel. The only link between Val and her fellow victim, Jason Bennet, is the Brunswick Inn, a building Castle's Internet groupies identified from the DVD image he put online. Craven is not amused, but his advice does give the team their first break in the case. Meanwhile, Castle's hyper little boy is on red alert and in a nice tip of the hat to the horror movies of old, he phones Wes Craven and interrogates him about evil spirits under the guise of research. Not even a string of dead-ends can convince her otherwise. He becomes even more high strung after watching a chilling DVD that claims at "midnight on the third day, you die." Ryan (Seamus Dever) and Esposito (Jon Huertas) make like they don't buy into the evil spirit angle, but neither of them is willing to watch the DVD either.Įver the voice of reason, it is Kate (Stana Katic) who never wavers on her belief that there is an actual human being out there murdering people as opposed to an evil spirit.


While a certain show about a certain motel might be premiering tonight over on A&E, here in the land of Network TV, Castle gives the horror genre a run for its money in 'Scared to Death.'įrom the classic horror scream in the opening sequence to the unsolved mystery revealed at the end, the episode does a fairly good job of navigating the theme while giving it some very Castle touches, too.įrom the beginning, it's clear the writers are aiming to lure the audience into a heart-stopping, bone-chilling adventure in the vein of The Ring, and the first victim, Val Butler (Alison Trumbull) does a good job of selling that point.Ĭastle (Nathan Fillion) further perpetuates the theme by doing inventory on the victim's belongings and concluding this was the work of an evil spirit.
