The Attic Expeditions Audience Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
TdSmth5 A guy is picknicking with his girlfriend when he has a vision of being in the middle of a ritual with a book, pentagrams, candles, and his naked girlfriend attacks him with a knife. He gets the upper hand and kills her. Then he wakes up right before surgery. They are going to operate on his brain. He tries to resists but gives in. He wakes up in the recovery room. The Dr. tells him years have passed and he's going to transfer him to The House Of Love to complete his recovery. There he meets some more patients- a guy who talks through a handpuppet, a slutty girl, a friendly guy who sometimes is too friendly. But our guy keeps having visions and starts getting suspicious about the House of Love. The Dr. in the meantime watches everything that happens there in a room full of screens and has invited another Dr. to watch and to discuss the case. They discuss implants...and the book.Our hero discovers in the attic a chest, that is somehow connected to him. And inside he finds a passage to a basement that looks like the scene of the ritual. And he finds the book. He also thinks that he is being manipulated and that everyone is part of some elaborate hoax. He keeps having visions of the girlfriend. The friendly guy goes nuts and starts killing people. While the guy continues to search for answers.The Attic Expedition is a confusing movie that doesn't explain itself or give an answer. One can read here on IMDb a variety of interpretations that all sounds plausible. It's also a very low budget movie that occasionally looks pretty good. It's not much of a horror movie more of a mystery thriller. Unfortunately, for it to work it would have to have been more involving or interesting. Since it isn't I didn't care to look for hints or try to figure it all out. And when the story doesn't want to reveal itself either, what's the point? I guess there wasn't a solid story to begin with, just scenes, and lines that our minds are then inclined to try to put together. The set of the House of Love is unfortunately distractingly cheap, perhaps on purpose? But a lot is made about how this movie was done with barely a budget. So one doesn't even know if the shortcomings are just a matter of the story or of necessity. If you like a puzzle then perhaps this is something that might interest you.
doodleguy76 I think this movie is just a fun ride -it's not meant to be a "thinking mans horror film" as I've understood it, as it probably wouldn't have had so many goofy elements -it's supposed to be an entertaining fun ride. it twists and turns, but, as the previous review mentions -nothing that will make you lose track of what is going on- which is a strong point for the movie -not against it. Something Fightclub couldn't manage, as it always fails to hold water upon further inspection. Seth Green does it well as the goofy "sidekick" you're not sure you can trust, and the rest of the cast is equally eccentric. Not a film for the fan of mainstream flicks, but if you want something a bit out of the extraordinary, this might be the film for you.
Company_of_Wolves Horror in the Attic Late night horror movie on the Horror Channel. It made a desperate stab at being a complex psychological horror, but ended up being boring and falling into the same trap as almost all modern horror films. There is no real atmosphere, it felt very phoney and just very typical. The complexity of it seemed just tacked on and was not very complex at all.I'd read it was a "thinking man's horror film" and in the vein of Lovecraft, but it was far from it. I found it rather simple and pointless. If you really were a "thinking man" then this isn't going to make you think, try "Jacob's Ladder". And for being like "Lovecraft", the man didn't fill his stories with sex and nudity, while this film has two sex scenes and more nudity. Just making vague references doesn't make it like something. If that were the case then here: "God" - now this post is like the Bible.Slightly above average horror movie, but better than most of today's American tripe.
nocturnallucidity Worth Watching Once - It's weird and poorly made. All throughout, you're making fun of their silly lines and production values. Yet somewhere, you begin to quiet down as everyone watching starts to piece together everything they're seeing. It's surprising, given my first impressions, that there actually is a decent underlying plot that's twisty and clever (if not overly gory and sex-ridden). Yet, though it does make you think, it's still only a so-so movie because of the bad acting and low budget.Special Features: Absolutely fantastically silly pretentious "behind the scenes" doc where they tout this as practically the best movie ever. Don't miss an interview with Alice Cooper about his 5 second cameo in the movie. They talk with him for at least 5 minutes, where he doesn't seem to know what the movie is about.Similar Movie: It has the same "avant-garde" and overly edgy feeling of May, though this was much lower budget and not as good. For another movie that appears bad yet actually has a decent underlying script/idea try Ghost Rig.
