Leave your thoughts about The Institute.
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe tedious film traverses familiar lurid territory involving resourceful heroines and corrupt doctors. |
| Film Journal InternationalMatt DonatoJames Franco's outdated glimpse inside Rosewood Institute strives for 19th-century chills, but this "based on a true story" sedative packs little genre significance. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe film looks like a rushed production that a few friends got together and made over a weekend. Performances range from tolerable to horrendous, and the script needed at least another rewrite to figure out what it was trying to say, and, preferably, buff out a ridiculous twist ending that would make M. Night Shyamalan go “nah.” |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardThe Institute seems constantly on the verge of dipping into spoof, though of what exactly is difficult to say. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe main achievement of The Institute is that its cast kept straight faces long enough to shoot this risible gothic chiller. A |
| User ReviewLanky Man PCongratulations Brianna Endrina who plays a pit girl!! Extremely proud of you!! |
| User ReviewFlorin13Nice movie,but strange in the same time,and is not the end you have expected. I don't think the real events were exposed in a correct manner, is a bit exaggeration here. |
| User ReviewRalfbergsI am not sure how much this is really based on real events or whatnot so I won't say anything about that, but the movie itself is not that bad. Okay, the story has some weird moments, especially the ending, but overall it is quite exciting to watch and makes you curious to know what will happen, which is good for a movie. Towards the end it gets stranger and a bit dumber too though. |
| User ReviewDaisy PWell... it isn't all that bad but surely looking cheap in production. |
| User ReviewJose Miguel GInteresting pacing and surrounded by a gorgeously Victorian setups, this little psychological thriller looks gorgeous and James Franco is enjoyable as always in regards of his direction and performances, returning the genre into a fancy old-school scenario, but even if its production is pretty decent and there are some particularly good ideas, The Institute struggles with being controversial, scary and atmospheric, accomplishing it only from times to times. |
