Reviews
Critics have had mixed feelings about 'The Attic,' often highlighting its atmospheric tension yet criticizing its execution. Rotten Tomatoes reflects this divide, presenting a somewhat low approval rating of 20%. One reviewer from The Movie Report stated, "While Elisabeth Moss delivers a commendable performance, the film itself struggles with uneven pacing and a tepid script. The reliance on clichés takes away from what could have been a compelling horror tale." IMDb users have given the film a rating of 3.4/10, indicating general disappointment. In contrast, a few viewers found merit in its suspenseful moments, with one user remarking, "The eerie ambiance of the house really drew me in, creating a sense of dread that lingered." Metacritic scores the film at a mere 35%, further emphasizing its lackluster reception. Ultimately, while some fans of the genre may find charm in its attempts to evoke fear, many agree that The Attic fails to deliver a coherent and engaging storyline.
