The Attic Expeditions Storyline

Trevor is a young man who has been sentenced to a long stay in a mental hospital after brutally killing his girlfriend. However, the longer Trevor is in stir, the more he wonders if the murder ever really happened, or if it’s all just a horrible fantasy implanted in his brain by Dr. Ek, the sinister director of the asylum.

The Attic Expeditions Movie Reviews

Original and Entertaining

This movie has exactly the right balance between horror and humor and, more importantly, between revealing too much and revealing too little. Some questions are answered at the end, but some are not, and I for one like that some are not. It is not a pat, boil-in-the-bag horror movie. It is intelligent and requires that you pay attention, but it’s not as if that’s terribly hard to do, because it succeeds in being entertaining throughout. Those expecting pornographic vivisections will be disappointed; compared to movies like “Hellraiser,” this film is more rightly classified as “psychological thriller” than horror. It remains an excellent movie, however, and if you don’t get it maybe you ought to watch again. Pay a bit more attention next time.

“A horror film for smart people”

I just finished watching the DVD and can’t wait to see it again! Jeremy Kasten does a great job for his first movie. He creates an atmospheric, unsettling, and at times just plain weird journey into subjective reality. The film has a certain insecure tension — just when you think you’re putting it together, Kasten throws in another piece of the puzzle and you have to re-think what you thought you knew. I enjoy films that don’t spoon-feed me the answers, but rather allow me to draw my own conclusions. I also like the use of the unreliable narrator…the last 20 minutes is a roller-coaster ride! Jeffrey Combs is absolutely perfect as Doctor Ek, and Seth Green is hilarious yet unnerving as the mysterious Douglas. Seth always brings multiple levels to his characters, and I rate this as one of his best performances. Don’t be put off by the fact that this movie may be referred to as “low budget” – in my opinion, that fact makes the production all that more sincere. The DVD will give those with a home theater system a good workout and add to the overall experience…and watch it after the sun goes down with all the lights out too!

Difficult Film to Follow, Might Be Worth It

Trevor Blackburn is put under psychiatric care after killing his girlfriend and then going into a four year coma. As part of his treatment, he is placed in Love House, a community of nuts hoping to become rehabilitated. But why can’t Trevor recall the murder he’s accused of?

Other people — at least two — have called this a “thinking man’s horror film”, and I’m going to join them. The events are shown out of order, usually out of context, and even once the film is completed you may or may not have understood everything that happened. At one point, there’s even a nod to H. P. Lovecraft, though as near as I can tell, this film has no direct connection.

The “thinking man” aspect is either going to intrigue you or frustrate you. I am a thinking man, as is my friend Seth who watched it with me, and we were frustrated. Had it not been for our man-crushes on Jeffrey Combs and Ted Raimi, the film probably would have been turned off. Now that I’ve seen it through, I’m curious to watch it again knowing the answers from stage one… but only so I can understand it, not because I think I’ll like it.

While Combs and Raimi made the film enjoyable, and a brief Alice Cooper was nice (anyone seen “Prince of Darkness”?), what I really disliked was the actor playing Trevor, Andras Jones. Jones simply can’t act for dog snot in this picture, comes off as not knowing his own emotions and more often than not is just lost. I didn’t care about him, and as a lead, that’s horse apples. His supporting actor, Seth Green (playing “Douglas”), wasn’t much better. Green has his moments and this wasn’t one of them.

There’s some minor gore, some drug use, a fair dose of sexuality… so that’s good. And director Jeremy Kasten does a fine job at the helm. One scene follows Seth Green around a game room and is executed flawlessly. This is probably more due to the cinematographer, but regardless it stood out. Kasten went on to make “The Thirst” (which I enjoyed) and the remake of “Wizard of Gore” with Crispin Glover. This was his directing debut, and a job well done.

I picked this film up used for $2.99 on the power of Jeffrey Combs alone, and it was worth that for the viewing… if you can find the same deal, pick it up. Or rent it. Don’t buy this one, unless you really want to irk your friends and ruin a good night of drinking. Usually I drink during horror films, and on this one I didn’t. Good thing, or I never would have made it through. Thinking man, yes. Drinking man, no.
