justin t @RT08580778 01/28/2023 I liked it. It was a little bit confusing but that is what is expected when you explore an insane mind. The story makes very little sense and the ending doesn't really shed much light on the matter. I think that I liked it because it scared my senses and challenged my mind. I would hate to be nuts in the brain. Seth Green and Jeffrey Combs are a joy to watch as always. See more 08/10/2021 Released by Severin Films when they put out their horror anthology documentary Tales of the Uncanny, The Attic Expeditions was a revelation to me. It's a portmanteau I've never seen before and I was knocked out by its Asylum-influenced story of Trevor Blackburn, a man who may or may not have lost his mind. The problems begin when he and his girlfriend Faith purchase a home together and find a chest in the attic. Inside, they discover a book of black magic that gives them great power through a series of rituals. As they work on learning how to gain more power, a ritual that combines their consciousnesses leads to her death. Now in an asylum, Dr. Ek (Jeffrey Combs) and Dr. Coffee (Ted Raimi) hope to use the book of black magic to cure all mental illness, but Trevor can barely remember his past and has no idea where it is. Dr. Ek then sends Trevor to be rehabilitated at The House of Love, a recovery facility seemingly in the command of Dr. Thalama (Wendy Robie, The People Under the Stairs) that is really Trevor's old home. The goal is to make him find the book and use actors, their stories and fake murders to make him wake up and turn over the occult reference. Dead people come back to life, drugs and surgery are used on our protagonist and all of these things make him go even deeper into fantasy until there are multiple versions of himself and Faith all working on finding the black book. Originally intended to be the fourth film in the Witchcraft series, this film stands on its own, featuring really good performances — Seth Green is awesome in this — and the only downside is the alt rock soundtrack that was forced on the film by its producers. Sadly, this film — despite being picked up by Blockbuster — doesn't get the kind of publicity other lesser horror anthologies get. This movie is made even better by the fact that Alice Cooper shows up. See more camille l @RT76374992 03/26/2020 Le plus intéressant, avec The Attic Expeditions, c'est son ambition. Premier film de Jeremy Kasten, ancien monteur, ce petit film d'horreur psychologique est clairement un film à tiroirs, volontairement abscons et voué à plusieurs visions. Ce serait plutôt sympathique si le film était un peu plus réussi et agréable à regarder. Car The Attic Expeditions est un film fauché, parfois absurdement moche, à la limite du Grand Guignol à la Halloween 6. C'est aussi un film beaucoup trop court pour ce qu'il veut faire. L'autre énorme défaut de The Attic Expeditions est le contraste entre le protagoniste principal, Andras Jones, et les deux grands méchants du film, Jeffrey Combs et surtout Seth Green, qui s'en donne à coeur joie dans un rôle taillé pour lui, probablement une de ses meilleurs performances de sa carrière. Ce sont les deux grandes qualités d'un film qui vaut le coup d'oeil à défaut d'être réellement réussi. See more 06/03/2015 Perversely perplexing panoply of paranormal paranoia. There's just nothing terrible to tell about this twisted, twitchy tale. See more 08/25/2013 Cleverly staged and acted circular thriller--Intellectually Frightening!! See more 09/19/2012 Biggest. Mindfuck. Ever. I LOVED IT! Seth Green was hilarious and did a great job. All the characters were so good and the story was trippy as hell. Definitely watching it again See more Read all reviews
