The Institute

Certainly a great attempt at using horror and creating a family. Interesting setup!

Some moments of real interesting execution. A fun campy film if you can see it that way.

I only watched this for the male lead who at least tries to act and has many nearly nude scenes. The females have some total nude scenes, and I mention the nudity because this film offers little else. At times it seems to border on an adult film, but it's just a dull and lifeless mess, in which characters only act in the way they act in bad movies. There is no horror or scares to this at all. Poorly filmed, it was obvious some scenes were filmed with a green screen and badly, as the actors were strangely outlined. Not worth anyone's time.

Badly acted, directed and written.

The plot was fairly interesting but the execution was poor due to lack of talent and budget.

Gravitas seem to make these movies with a 50 quid budget and the are perfect for millennials who are scrolling through tik tok whilst not paying attention. Avoid.

This movies reviews are suspect.

All positive reviews are extremely generic, while bad reviews are much more in-depth (and close to what I observed).

This movie is hard to watch; boring and with terrible green screen keying.

Just don't watch this movie if you're not into watching weird people speak in a boring way for two hours while standing out from the background like sore teeth.

I have to add this to match the required length: it seems obvious to me that quite a lot of friends and family of the actors/producers helped it to get as much visibility as possible. Sadly, you cannot turn s#it into gold like this.

I thought the actors portraying our protagonists, Daniel and Marie, did a reasonable job. Some have commented that the rest of the characters were not well acted, but I think it was a conscious decision on the part of the filmmakers to have most of the characters appear to be "wrong" in one way or another. The head of "The Institute" appeared somehow divorced from his emotions. I've seen worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
