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.

I don't want to give a bad review based on my sole experience, but I will. After all, this review is warranted and in no way, shape or form is it based on movies with similar premises...but it is.I like bad movies; I really do. I dig really bad movies such as Troll 2, Silent Night Deadly Night 2, etc. These movies, at least to me, attempt something and in some way, it always comes out bad in the best way possible. This movie, The Attic, starring Elisabeth Moss, is terrible in the worst way.It starts off interesting enough with a girl in the bathtub, which is always a good sign of a horror flick. However, it rushes things right afterward until you're wondering what happened and why. Is the movie bad because of poor character development? Yes. Is the movie bad because of very poor acting? Yes. Is the movie bad because it's the same storyline that's been done time and time again? Yes.I could almost look passed the bad acting because sometimes that actually makes a memorable movie. However, in this case, The Attic falls short to the point you could care less about the characters, and you really want to find the original script and tear it up before anyone, such as Lambert, decides to direct it.I gave it 1 star only because I couldn't give it a 0.

If i could give this movie no starts i would. The entire movie was pointless, the beginning made no sense at all. It started with a random girl (5mins of fame) who heard something in the hallway then went to the attic ad saw a girl who looked just like her, she ran outside and fell (typical) then when she looked up the girl was standing in front of her and then out of nowhere she just started shaking like she was retarded. Final the main character comes in and she hears something in the attic and sees a girl who looks just like her. Later in the movie we find out its her twin who died 12 days after she was born and only had half a brain or something. This is were the entire beginning was pointless, how would the dead twin know that her twin was going to move into the house later on? Why did the dead twin look like the girl in the beginning if she was the twin of the second girl? If the dead twin died 12 days after she was born, why was she full grown and haunting her sister? Pointless!!! The acting was bad. The words they were saying didn't match facial expressions. There was one part in the movie when the girl seen the dead twin in the window, so literally the alive twin slammed her head into the stove or counter top and fell and was unconscious, i laughed my butt off, i showed my bf and my bff and we were all laughing so hard. I guess she was posed to be surprised, but it looked like she slammed her head down intentionally lol!!! All in all movie sucked! I watched it b/c it was actually entertaining i laughed thru the bad acting and terrible graphics of the shooting her dad in the head and her mother, also the slitting her brothers throat was pretty bad as well! I hope you guys enjoy the movie more then me, it was bad!!!

The absolutely only redeeming thing about this film is how beautiful Alexandra Daddario looks in the first few minutes. That's it.
