It Lives in the Attic

A friend of mine illegally downloaded this (yes illegally) and boy if there ever was a case for justifying the use of illegal downloads then this is it.

Anyone who has paid money to see this amateurish, pointless student project, should be taking legal action to get their money back.

It's bad, how bad I hear you ask? Bad even for a student film that obviously cost about $20 to produce.

If you enjoy watching home movies with people who can't act, special effects that are just that "special", camera work that is simply a dude running around with his mobile phone on record and lighting that jumps around all over the place, from bad to almost unwatchable, then by all means, give it a try, otherwise, avoid it at all costs.

Garbage!

That's the budget on this film. Does it look like? Sure, and that's a good thing. Added to the disturbing ickiness of the mind that must have created it. Full disclosure, I'm a sucker for gratuitous horror - stabbing, cutting, slashing bloody mosaics are like a fine wine when I"m looking to escape. What exactly lives in the attic? You'll have to watch this bad boy to find out, but trust me, you won't be disappointed. Not for everyone, but if you're sick and twisted you'll love it! Yaaaaaay slasher movies!!

Firstly, I'm impressed that anyone shelled out $1000 on this dumpster fire. The whole thing has horrible HDLR that makes it almost impossible to watch. It's like watching a movie through a bad instagram filter. I'm pretty sure the editing was done in i-movie, even the fonts are amatuar. And although cheap and amatuar doesn't always mean bad, this movie is atrocious in every other way imaginable.

I see a couple other reviews saying it's good because you can't figure out the mystery, but that isn't because it's well written. It's because the plot is non existent and you have no idea whats going on. I literally could not tell you what that movie is about. I'm not even sure what the mystery was. There were stories woven into it but most of them didn't make sense when pieced together and were just confusing. Even the acting was horrible, and there was almost no dialogue.

I would say it's worth watching to make fun of, but it's not. It's almost impossible to sit through, even when I was watching it with two other people making commentary. It took us almost 3 days to watch the whole thing, because it's not just uncomfortable and confusing it's also really boring somehow. We had to keep stopping it to take breaks.

I've also seen this movie compared to A Clock Work Orange more then once, but I liked A Clock Work Orange a lot. And I would rather stab my eyes with knitting needles then be forced to sit through this again.

It may live in the attic but it's terrible all over the house. Lots of intersecting stories of unlikeable and poorly acted characters with no payoff. Just back away slowly.

"It Lives in the Attic" is an amateurish very low-budget production that should be rated in IMDb worse than awful. The messed, bizarre and senseless direction, story, screenplay and edition are incredibly bad and the viewer sees scenes totally disconnected that does not make any sense. The "actors" and "actresses" were cast among the ugliest people without any talent in United States. Sorry but the only reason to watch this crap to the very ending is to see how far the pretentious writer and director would go. My vote is one (awful) since it is not possible to rate this garbage lower than that.
