The Attic
Emma has a strong aversion towards her family’s new house, especially the attic. After moving in, she becomes miserable and reclusive. The rest of her family also seems unhappy and unsettled. The situation escalates one day when Emma is in the attic alone. All of a sudden someone who looks exactly like Emma attacks her viciously.
Why it matters
A slow-burning psychological haunted house tale that flirts with doppelgänger terror but never quite escapes its own attic trap.
- Alexandra Daddario’s early career cameo offers a glimpse of her future charisma, though she’s frustratingly sidelined.
- The attic-as-evil-space motif nods to classic haunted house tropes but lacks the payoff fans expect.
- Mood-heavy and claustrophobic, it’s a slow crawl through family malaise that leans more on atmosphere than scares.
- Best for viewers who savor low-key, introspective horror over overt shocks—expect frustration if you want a tight narrative or strong payoff.
