Government testing of psychic behavior, what could go wrong.

Atticus Institute (2015)

Dir- Chris Sparling

There are Cold War stories of how the US and USSR put money into psychic research in the hopes of gaining the upper hand on one another. The Atticus Insitute uses this as a backdrop for a pseudo-documentary that reveals the outcome of a top-secret experiment that involved a mysterious woman who displayed genuine psychic abilities that would later prove to be something much darker. The movie has the authentic feel of a documentary with the testimonials from former researchers and project members. The cast of relatively unknown actors adds to the genuine feel of the movie that plays out like a creepypasta. Given the history of the CIA and KGB, it is no secret that black projects like this may have been carried out and the Atticus Institute has that impact with an ending that will leave you asking questions and wondering just how dirty our government can be.
