They Came from the Attic

They came from the attic, a great title. I just watched this film last week and I'm very impressed, For a low budget indie it has a great feel Obviously it's not a Hollywood million dollar movie but it's pretty good Not much on the story but it is good watching

The creatures are really well done too Definitely worth a watch, the main actress JEN (Nicola Elbro) did a great job The creepy neighbours Jack (Greg Tiderington) Larry (Dick Pugh)added a creepy touch To the great location of the film I would like to see where this goes from here, what will happen next? Good job guys If you are an indie horror fan I suggest you watch this Creature feature

"They Came from the Attic" is a great easy watching indie film. There are some excellent aspects of the film that really caught my attention. The first one would have to be the creatures! They are unique and well designed! The second one would be the storyline. The writer/director did a grey job of capturing the essence of simple yet effective plot. And last but not least, I was impressed by the use of locations! They were able to use the location to make the movie more eerie. Nicola Elbro- lead actress was very good at her part. "They Came From the Attic" is an independent film, and for an independent not Hollywood type movie, it was exceptional.

The premise is straight forward- a family move to a house- there are creepy neighbours, a creepy child and a tragic past. Then the creepy kid begins to see and hear things coming from the attic...

This film is bad on so many levels. Terrible acting,terrible script, terrible production- poor and out of sync audio as well as an entire scene that is shot so dark you will have to an inch from your TV to see exactly what the hell is going on. It has no originality and you have seen this story many times before. Avoid and spend your time washing your hair, or watching paint dry- it would be more entertaining that watching this!

From the start it was clear this movie was going to be terrible. From the generic quality to the horrible acting and audio issues. The actress who plays the mother is so terrible she may be the worst i've ever seen. The father was boring and flat and unmemorable with line deliveries that are so forced and contrived you'd think he was auditioning for an elementary school play. Onto the children, the boy didn't have a lot to really do so it didn't matter that he was bad. The daughter was the only one with some level of potential and is the only one who seemed to have any kind of talent or training.

Now onto the plot, if you can call it that was recycled bits of other horror movies thrown together. Sometimes that can be fun but this time it didn't even make any sense. I am the kind of person that has to finish a movie I start. Watching this disaster of a "movie" though, I found myself wishing it was a 5 minute short on youtube and nearly stopped watching at least a dozen times. Trust me, this is coming from someone who has been watching Horror constantly since the early 80's and can usually find something redeemable in most films.... skip this one. It is a waste of time.

Just a side note, IMDb really should come up with some kind of system to prevent anyone involved in a movie from planting fake positive reviews.

This film is creepy, low budget but a cool flick to watch with a few beers
