The Atticus Institute will be available on DVD and Blu-ray on January 20th, 2015. We have the key art and a fresh batch of stills from the horror film to share with you, so you know what to keep an eye out for. The Atticus Institute was written and directed by Chris Sparling and it marks his directorial debut.
Dr. Henry West founded The Atticus Institute in the early 1970s to test individuals expressing supernatural abilities - E.S.P., clairvoyance, psychokinesis, etc. Despite witnessing several noteworthy cases, nothing could have prepared Dr. West and his colleagues for Judith Winstead.She outperformed every subject they had ever studied - soon gaining the attention of the U.S. Department of Defense, who subsequently took control of the research facility. The more experiments they conducted on Judith, the clearer it became that her abilities were the manifestation of evil forces within her, prompting the government to take measures to weaponize this force.
But they soon discovered there are powers that exist in this world that simply cannot be controlled. Now the details of the inexplicable events that occurred within The Atticus Institute are being made public after remaining classified for nearly forty years.
Both the DVD and Blu-ray releases will include "making of" featurette and deleted scenes.
