DC Showcase: The Spectre

DC Showcase: The Spectre (2010) is an animated crime short you can watch online on iFILM. Twelve minutes built to look and move like a grimy 1970s cop thriller.

Detective Jim Corrigan works a film producer's murder, but something far older is already on the case. The Spectre — a crimson-cloaked spirit of vengeance — hunts the guilty down and punishes them in ways the camera refuses to flinch from. Director Joaquim Dos Santos (later a force behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) leans hard into grain, shadow and pulpy menace. Gary Cole and Alyssa Milano lead the voice cast. A perfect one-sitting pick for anyone who likes their DC on the darker end. Stream DC Showcase: The Spectre (2010) online on iFILM.
