The Atticus Institute
The only case of possession confirmed by the U.S. Government.
Directed by Chris Sparling
Produced by Poznan Film Group, The Safran Company
A found-footage horror film that frames demonic possession as a classified military experiment, blending paranoia and supernatural dread with pseudo-documentary authenticity.
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.
