The Attic (2008)

DVD

"You will never leave this house!"

I saw this at Blockbuster and thought it had a cool DVD cover, and it sounded like it might be kinda good...it wasn't. There's many flaws to this film, and I will only be listing a few. Ok, so they make lots of scenes overly dramatic. Randomly they start screaming. They keep on mentioning that the lead girl is "the prettiest girl they've ever seen". Yea...that's bad, I guess they haven't seen very many pretty girls. Also, people ask another person a question, and more than half the time they don't answer! They just start a whole other conversation! It's like they started a conversation, then the next day of shooting, they started up the conversation again! Along with this goes bad dialogue. They keep on saying they'll do something "tomorrow". Then tomorrow comes, and they don't do anything! Toward the end, the lead girl gets a blonde streak in her hair. Well, 1 - it looks bad, and 2 - they are inconsistent with it. Sometimes she has it and then she doesn't, then her whole hair is blonde for a scene, then sometimes the streak looks bigger, then smaller. Then the ending totally contradicts the "twist".

Well...I think that's probably enough to steer you away from this, and I doubt I have to make whole paragraphs about how terrible the acting and directing is, but I will tell you the story. It's about some chick who is haunted by some girl who looks exactly like her, and no one believes her. This ghost doesn't even do anything (besides stand there) until about half way through the film.

Yea..stay away from this! But why did I give this any stars at all, you ask? Well, it was hilarious!!

No, no Crypt, I agree--it was funny (especially the guy that looks like some retarded cross between Clint Eastwood and Casper Van Dean). For me though, even the unintentional comedy couldn't salvage it. By the way, all the problems people are having commenting on your page--I can't comment either.

I continue to try to comment on your page as well but to no avail. I am having problems accessing my on profile page if it makes you feel any better. By the way, yes my avatar picture is actually me, but don't let that scare you.

Another good review Crypt. I can see why this would be funny, especially when they scream for no apparent reason. I am sure there are a lot of eye-rolling moments as well. Thanks for sitting through another bad film so I do not have to.
