The 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.”

Nice 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.

I 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.

The main achievement of The Institute is that its cast kept straight faces long enough to shoot this risible gothic chiller. A

Hopeless acting in every level. Tragic montage. A trivial scenario with a boring and tiring plot. The only plus that seems to me to be the corresponding binder of the whole plot is the soundtrack.
