The Atticus Institute Plot Synopsis:

In the fall of 1976, a small psychology lab in Pennsylvania became the unwitting home to the only government-confirmed case of possession. The U.S. military assumed control of the lab under orders of national security and, soon after, implemented measures aimed at weaponizing the entity. The details of the inexplicable events that occurred are being made public after remaining classified for nearly forty years.


Anchor Bay and Chris Sparling"s The Atticus Institute (2015) movie looks really good or at least interesting. I saw the trailer and found that it really peaked my interests. It is always great to see when a movie mixes demons, the paranormal and government conspiracies/experiments together. The military try to weaponize these supernatural abilities but we all know how that turns out, I am really interested in the journey though. Starring in The Atticus Institute are Julian Acosta, Anne Betancourt, William Mapother, Rya Kihlstedt, John Rubinstein, Sharon Maughan, Gerald McCullouch, Anton Narinskiy, Erich Lane and Carlos E. Campos.

Synopsis / Plot Summary:  In the early 1970s, Dr. Henry West creates an institute to find people with supernatural abilities. When Judith Winstead comes to the facility, she exhibits amazing abilities that the military wants to turn into a weapon.
