Stay Out of the Attic

Directed by Jerren Lauder1h 20m2020

A diverse group of ex-cons-turned-movers are convinced by their creepy client, Vern Muller, to pull an all-nighter for a generous pay bump. As the night progresses and rooms are cleared, they slowly uncover the horrors that exist inside his old Victorian mansion, which include boobytraps, human experimentation, Nazi monsters and more. Will they survive the night?

Our read: Stay Out of the Attic (2020) reads as a heavy, kinetic, inventive horror · supernatural · monster entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
