Okay I have no idea where to start on this movie..I didn't hate it nor did i really love it.. Mostly I was just left scratching my head...

It is about a man named Trevor who may or may not be losing his mind. He wakes up in an sanitarium and thinks it is the year 2000.. He is told it is 2004 and he is here because he is criminally insane. He has flashbacks.. Super brief and they don't really tell you much. He is let out into what is basically a halfway house called the House of Love.

You meet several strange people from a women who cries rape on all guys to Seth Green, who's character reminds me of Brad Pitt in 12 monkeys. He is also very flamboyant, but that is explained much later. I won't spoil it now. One of the few things really explained.

Trevor is left to try and find out what happened. The whole time he is spied upon by his "doctor" who is after a book. There is some other stuff about murder, Magic with a k, and who is really crazy..

The acting is pretty wooden for the most part, Seth Green does a good job but everyone else seems to be either new or didn't like the script but did it anyway. Some of the music doesn't really fit and at one point between the music and the sceance it was like watching a porno. lol.

Overall if you want something to do, or if you are stoned or drunk this might just be the movie for you. I would like to hear other peoples take on it and just what they think happened. Sam Raimi's brother also stars in this movie. The best way I can sum it up is say David Lynch or some other way off the wall/beaten path director, though less talented, got on Acid and PCP and then watched Identity and The Truman Show either back to back or at the same time and then made this movie. Taking elements of both. Horror wise, I would say it is close to "Don't Look in The Basement."

Not a bad movie, it was very confusing though... and i'm still not sure what happened at the end!

I recently saw this due to a very positive review I read. I searched high and low for the DVD until I finally found it at (drum roll please) BLOCKBUSTER!! Of course, the only reason I couldn't find it there before is because it was under a different title: Horror in the Attic.

Anywayz, it was nice seeing Jeffrey Combs in a movie again, but even his presence couldn't save this dreadful mess of a film. Firstly, I must admit, this is a very bias opinion because I dislike surrealism and The Attic Expeditions was full of weird surreal sh*t. Then again, I did enjoy Lost Highway, but that was made by a genius named David Lynch and as Madness mentioned, whoever directed this garbage is much less talented...ok, so I saw absolutely no evidence or even trace particles of talent. What was this movie about anyway? F*ck it, who cares.

The movie is called "The Horror In The Attic" over here in Australia and I watched it very early this year. What a borefest.

I will remember to scratch this off my list of movies to see.
