Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The Movie Diorama Pseudo-documentaries can be an interesting narrative structure to convey a story. It automatically heightens the realism and enables creative use of camera placement, whether it be interviews or handheld footage. Justifying the utilisation of this structure fully depends on the subject matter, it has to be captivating enough to make you want to know more and pay attention to the interviews. This however, was utterly boring and far too predictable. Chronicling the events of an institute, hoping to prove supernatural psychic abilities exist, and how they deal with their most proficient case study which may turn out to be more paranormal than first anticipated. It's a horror, it's visible on the poster and included in the trailer, so it comes as no spoiler that Judith, the case in question, is actually possessed. Independently written and directed by Sparling, it's a shame he follows typical horror tropes and conformities by substituting an intelligent concept for an uninspired plot. Demonic possessions are practically in every horror film of the last decade, they are always depicted similarly and thus consequently become predictable. Exploring the abilities of telekinesis, pyrokinesis and other psychic abnormalities in itself makes for a frightening watch. Sparling already had the foundations laid out. Yet, he places lethargic bricks, one after the other, and cements them with an utterly boring mixture. This really was a tedious experience with very little happening on screen. The security cameras, considering this was supposed to be in the early 70s, were so advanced that they were able to capture audio to precisely inject loud jump scares. Really? You're not fooling anyone. The documentarian format serves no purpose aside from an interesting segment regarding the military desiring to weaponise Judith. However, this is immediately negated when they decide to invite the local priest over for an exorcism. Yes, I'm done. "Boringly dull and fundamentally uninteresting", put that in your documentary!

murdermanmat Went in not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised.Acting was quite good and believableOne of the better mocumentries

rowan-yehia These movie deserves to be rated 10 out of 10 .... it is so scary and I am hardly to be impressed ... on the other hand this movie doesn't show us what is this dark entity and how it possessed her and how easy after she was recovered they set her free and they assumed that doctor Henry was dead did they really looked for him or they just killed him because he has known too much and why the institute was closed after that. The producer should make another part of this movie to clarify what was this entity.The last thing I doubt is if this movie was based on a true event. Why was Dr.Henry was the only one to be possessed and I didn't get it what about the officer that was connected to the TV what was they wanted to do.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I didn't know about this movie prior to coming across it by sheer random luck. I read the synopsis and it did seem adequate. So I sat down to watch "The Atticus Institute".But I must admit that I lost interest fairly quickly into the movie. Why? Well, simply because the storyline failed to captivate, and the characters in the movie weren't particularly interesting or detailed.And the whole documentary-style to the movie didn't really appeal to me either. I am sure that some will enjoy the style in which the movie is filmed and set up, but it just didn't sit well with me."The Atticus Institute" just never took off. It started out okay, but then it just thrummed into a monotone pace and never gained momentum.As for the acting, well that was actually what worked in favor of the movie, but it was nowhere enough to lift up the movie or salvage the movie as it spiraled off course.My interest quickly wandered to my phone while watching "The Atticus Institute", and it never fully managed to lure me back. This was a rather boring movie and one that will be very quickly forgotten. A dull movie with an equally dull storyline. Don't waste your time or money on this movie.
