Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Wonderful Movie
Fantastic!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I was not sure what to expect before watching this. I now understand why this is shown on cable more than most POV horror out these days."Was it interesting?" For the most part. Framing it as a legitimate documentary helped it. The dated setting, lack of technology, and inability to see the characters away from the action hurt it some. 2 out of 3"Was it entertaining?" That is it's biggest problem. Little drama beyond emotional storytelling and only a few real good paranormal scenes. 1 out of 3"Was it memorable?" The form of the movie was, but otherwise didn't make too much of an impact. It mostly just trys to stand out among it's sub-genre. 1.5 out of 3Start with 1, 1+2+1+1.5=5.5 I'm rounding up for just using decent actors and good editing. A 6 with these type of movies is definitely above average.
The movie is OK.some good moments and a couple of incoherent ones bit it's still a good watch. If you like móvies about possessions it's not the best but it's not the worst Plot: The movie is about a group of scientists trying to finde someone who can prove that phsiquiqs powers existe and can be use to help people and to defend the country from attacks without warning from other countries or from terrorist It's an interesting plot and i think they did the best they could with the budget Effects,cast and pacing: very little cgi and most of it is adequate Acting is great.the cast is almost perfect(as usual considering the budget) The pacing is a bit slow and the documemtary style could be boring for some people .give it a try ir you like horror movies
Greetings from Lithuania."The Atticus Institute" (2015) is a very bad movie. It's not a horror (there isn't a single scare scene), it some kind of thriller told in mostly in old footage and pictures. Nothing works here to create some interesting story or mood. Acting is bad, especially by lead actress. It's surprising that this picture was created by Chris Sparling, who once wrote a near masterpiece "Buried".Overall, "The Atticus Institute" is so bad it's not even funny. Although there is one hilarious scene with priest in gas mask - truly funny moment. It's not scary, not interesting, and at running time 1 h 19 min this movie drags beyond believe. Skip this stuff, it's not worth of your time.
This is one of those films that are,unfortunately,overlooked by so many people.It's not a massive film,it's low budget and wasn't in the cinema(not to my knowledge,anyway). The film was shot as if it was a documentary,and I think it was done very well,almost like the film 'The Devil Inside', although I did not think much to that. Anyway, 'The Atticus Institution' is great. It is different to many horror films we get lately. It's deliverance is better,and more real. And at times,you forget you are watching a film. The fact this is based very much so on true events makes this so much more real to the viewers. Although it didn't actually scare me,I can see how this film can scare some people,as the events that happen in this film are...well,scary as anything. I would advise anyone to watch this, it's a great film, and I would even watch it again.
