I'd rather be locked in a room watching 'The Pumpkin Carver' for a year straight then to have to subject myself to this bullshit. I've never seen such horrible acting in my 25 years of existence and I pray that people read this before ever watching this "movie". I would rather gauge my eyes out with my toes...I needed to keep watching it to see what happens and I wish I could take back the 80 minutes of my life. All the crew that were involved in making this movie should be forced to be locked in a room for life repeating the movie over and over and be tortured. I've already wasted enough time in writing this blog about this monstrosity, but I needed to warn people!! 0 OUT OF 10.....HORRIBLE!
Emma has a strong aversion towards her family's new house,especially the attic.After moving in,she becomes miserable and reclusive. The rest of her family also seems unhappy and unsettled.The situation escalates one day when Emma is in the attic alone.All of a sudden someone who looks like Emma's identical twin sister attacks her viciously.Emma is convinced that someone or something is haunting her...First of all I can't believe that Mary Lambert,the director of very creepy "Pet Sematary" is responsible for this tedious piece of garbage."The Attic" is deadly dull and contains no suspense.There is one throat slashing and that's all when it comes to gore.The acting is pitiful,the script is predictable and it took me two days to actually finish this turd.Skip it.
The attic is certainly not the movie of the year or a movie to be remembered but certainly a movie that didn't make me think i wasted my time.A pretty decent haunted house story with some bad acting but a good movie pace.I'm sure with a bigger budget it would have become a horror flick that could satisfy the fans of the genre.It keeps the same eerie feeling from beginning to end and the main character's descent into madness left me quite satisfied.It is a movie based on atmosphere more than pop up scares which was nice for a change.It certainly could have been more scary or more gory but for it to get a 3,5 rating...you guys surely haven't watched really bad horror movies.
Erratic, nonsensical storyline. You seem to come in in the middle of the movie, for one thing, and the dialogue can be painful. The ending is completely expected. Which is a pity because it is a very good cast, nice setting, decent production values.
The film held my interest, I'll admit, but right from the beginning, you were left hanging as to what was happening. The so called psychosis of the main character was virtually unexplained from the beginning, the paramedic "ally" appeared all too conveniently and the Wiccan symbols were explained away like they had nothing to do with the plot.
What I did like, however, was that it wasn't the typical slasher film. I also enjoyed the complex nature of the circumstances-if they'd presented them better! I'd seriously consider a remake of this, tweaked, of course.
It's too bad the budget wasn't adequate.
