As Good As It Gets

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Seriously how can you hate this movie?Clever, interesting and original The Atticus Insititute gets a thumbs up from me, hats off to writer and director Chris Sparling. Filmed as a mockumentary, it initially revolves around telekinesis and one particularly gifted woman, Judith Winstead. Rya Kihlstedt who plays Judith gives a brilliant and totally believable performance.I really don't want to say much and spoil any of it, I'd just say give it a go.How many noses does a monkey have?

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.

I don't really know what the point of this movie was.It's not scary at all and it's made as a faux documentary style but all the footage of course is fake and all the people interviewed are actors, William Mapother off 'Lost' fame with a very recognisable face plays one of the psychologists maybe if they would have gone with people who weren't as famous it would have worked a little better.But on the other hand there are plenty of faux documentaries that does work so it's not all just that, it's just really boring.I don't really know what more to say about this movie cause there's really nothing to say, a real big bore of a movie.

This is one of those films that are,unfortunately,overlooked by so many people.It's not a massive film,it's low budget and wasn't in the cinema(not to my knowledge,anyway). The film was shot as if it was a documentary,and I think it was done very well,almost like the film 'The Devil Inside', although I did not think much to that. Anyway, 'The Atticus Institution' is great. It is different to many horror films we get lately. It's deliverance is better,and more real. And at times,you forget you are watching a film. The fact this is based very much so on true events makes this so much more real to the viewers. Although it didn't actually scare me,I can see how this film can scare some people,as the events that happen in this film are...well,scary as anything. I would advise anyone to watch this, it's a great film, and I would even watch it again.
