  A friend of mine illegally downloaded this (yes illegally) and boy if there ever was a case for justifying the use of illegal downloads then this is it. Anyone who has paid money to see this amateurish, pointless student project, should be taking legal action to get their money back. It's bad, how bad I hear you ask? Bad even for a student film that obviously cost about $20 to produce. If you enjoy watching home movies with people who can't act, special effects that are just that "special", camera work that is simply a dude running around with his mobile phone on record and lighting that jumps around all over the place, from bad to almost unwatchable, then by all means, give it a try, otherwise, avoid it at all costs. Garbage!

• Worse than Awful

  "It Lives in the Attic" is an amateurish very low-budget production that should be rated in IMDb worse than awful. The messed, bizarre and senseless direction, story, screenplay and edition are incredibly bad and the viewer sees scenes totally disconnected that does not make any sense. The "actors" and "actresses" were cast among the ugliest people without any talent in United States. Sorry but the only reason to watch this crap to the very ending is to see how far the pretentious writer and director would go. My vote is one (awful) since it is not possible to rate this garbage lower than that. Title (Brazil): Not Available

  It is always great fun to see what the good folks at Big Biting Pig Productions have unleashed upon the world in each of their annual horror productions. This year's release is their tenth movie to date. Written, directed and staring Steve Hudgins, it is titled "It Lives In The Attic" and perhaps the scariest thing about this film is that it ever lived in the mind of Steve Hudgins. You know what they say... better out than in. Oh, really? The pre-release trailers for this film did little to reveal any more about what to expect than does the film's title; this signaled to me that the actual story line was being held close to the vest. Wishing not to take away from that spirit of mystery, a thorough review of this film is going to be little tough to do. I will say however, that it was fantastic to see Michael Coon in a leading role, all grown up and enjoying life as happy-go-lucky Andy. It was also good to see that Jessica Leonard was none the worse for wear; coming from her starring role in last years Big Biting Pig monster hit, to figure voluptuously into this tapestry of madness as Ellie, the girl next door. Steve Hudgins channeled his inner "Aqualung" in a masterful "perv"formance as the standoffish Barney. I really don't think it is much of a stretch to say this production has crossed the line into a soft-porn classification but you may rest assured the horror is there in ample quantity to spoil the mood. Many familiar Big Biting Pig performers contribute admirably to the film and a good many of these seemed just a little too convincing when letting their freak flags fly. Disturbing? Yes. Uncomfortable? Yes. Horrific? Oh, yeah! Honestly, I came away from this film with much the same feeling as after having first viewed Stanley Kubrick's classic "A Clockwork Orange." In fact, to my mind, I think of this as Big Biting Pig's "A Cuckoo-Clockwork Orange" (I mean this in a good way.) Steve Hudgins and the Big Biting Pig crew always seems to bring us smart, thinking-person's horror, so you will want to bring your brain; of course it will be of no great help with this one, but you will want to refer back to it as the credits begin to roll. It Lives In The Attic? If only...

• It may live in the attic...

  It may live in the attic but it's terrible all over the house. Lots of intersecting stories of unlikeable and poorly acted characters with no payoff. Just back away slowly.

  IT LIVES IN THE ATTIC is a bad indie horror film that fails to live up to the potential of the title. The story sees a large amateur cast going through the motions but failing to make much stick. They're mostly just hanging around in and around a house as with many indies. In terms of horror, there are a few bloodied bodies but that's about it. I found the consistency lacking and the whole film quite unbelievable.
