New images from Chris Sparling’s possession thriller The Atticus Institute

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Earlier this week we learned that BURIED writer Chris Sparling's directorial debut THE ATTICUS INSTITUTE would be arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on January 20, 2015, and today we've landed a big batch of new images from the possession thriller to share with you.

Anchor Bay’s latest foray into the world of possession comes at us from the producer of THE CONJURING, Peter Safran. It sounds like it could be a creepy, off-the-wall insane good time. I'm a sucker for a chilling possession thriller so count me in for this one.

Dr. Henry West founded The Atticus Institute in the early 1970s to test individuals expressing supernatural abilities – E.S.P., clairvoyance, psychokinesis, etc. Despite witnessing several noteworthy cases, nothing could have prepared Dr. West and his colleagues for Judith Winstead. She outperformed every subject they had ever studied – soon gaining the attention of the U.S. Department of Defense, who subsequently took control of the research facility. The more experiments they conducted on Judith, the clearer it became that her abilities were the manifestation of evil forces within her, prompting the government to take measures to weaponize this force. But they soon discovered there are powers that exist in this world that simply cannot be controlled. Now the details of the inexplicable events that occurred within The Atticus Institute are being made public after remaining classified for nearly forty years.

The film stars Rya Khilstedt (“Dexter”), William Mapother (“Lost”, The Grudge), Harry Groener (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), John Rubenstein (“Angel”) and Sharon Maughn (The Bank Job) and was executive produced by Dan Clifton.
