Written by Buried scribe Chris Sparling, the film stars Rya Kihlstedt, Aaron Craven, William Mapother and Laurent Rubin.

Synopsis
Set in 1976, The Atticus Institute revolves around a parapsychology lab which uncovered the supernatural abilities of Judith Winstead, a patient possessed with dark forces. The Atticus Institute discovery prompted the U.S. military to intervene and take control of the facility in order to weaponize Winstead’s evil forces.
