PLOT SUMMARY: A group of ex-cons turned movers are explicitly told not to go into the attic by their client. One of them does and all hell breaks loose.
In horror movies, when someone tells a character to stay out of the basement or the attic, why is it that this warning is never heeded?
No matter what, the character always ends up in the very area they are forbidden to go and then, of course, chaos ensues.
Looking at the poster of the movie and with the profanity in the title concealed, all you can glean from it is that a character is going to warn the others from staying out of their business and the other characters definitely did do exactly that. And that this is going to be a comedy.
It is not a comedy although it very well could be.
STAY OUT OF THE F**KING ATTIC Movie Plot
Three ex-convicts join to form a moving company. As luck would have it, their first customer is an old man who wants the house cleared out in one night. A big house and only one night to do the job? And of course, the old man called Vern tells them to stay out of the basement and attic.
The three movers: Albert, Carlos and Imani, are thrilled with the job because they're going to make extra money. They start working and on one or two occasions see a creepy hand poking out of holes.
Somewhere along the way, it is revealed that Albert was part of the Aryan Brotherhood but he isn't part of it anymore. Carlos and Imani simply shrug their shoulders at that information and focus on the job at hand and making that extra buck.
Albert on the other hand is having serious doubts about Vern who has a strange lock on a door.
Carlos finds books about strange and cruel experiments to which Albert tells them about Josef Mengele, a man who wanted to conduct deadly experiments for the Nazis and was especially interested in twins.
By this time Vern realizes he's going to be caught and traps the others while sending a mutant from the attic to kidnap Imani.
Imani is strapped to a table and has her eye scooped out. Vern tells her that her eye won't go in the trash but would be used to consume so that he can live longer.
Carlos and Albert search got Imani and instead find one of Vern's experiments: a twin stitched to the other. They are about to be led to Imani but a mutant appears and Vern, too, arrives to shoot Albert.
Carlos goes to hide in a bathroom but Vern releases gas inside it. Carlos manages to escape and kill the mutant but then collapses.
At this point, we wonder if everyone is going to die and Vern, who turns out to be a very much alive Josef, is going to win.
Apparently, he wanted to run away in the middle of the night because people had begun noticing some disappearances in the area, those that Josef has been kidnapping and turning into mutants.
STAY OUT OF THE F**KING ATTIC Ending Explained with Spoilers!
Albert is still not dead and Vern tells him he saved him because of his tattoo that reveals that he is a high rank of the Aryan Brotherhood. Imani who has made it out of her shackles is horrified to find that about Albert but forgets that he must have genuinely left his past behind if he hired her for his company and has tortured it killed her yet.
A fight ensues and Albert decides that he doesn't want to pay for tattoo removal and instead carves the tattoo right out of his body to show everyone how racist he isn't anymore.
Then he kills Vern but there are still mutants in the house.
Carlos awakens, not killed by the poisonous gas.
In the last scene, the three are all well and fine and continuing with their moving business.
Scare scale: 2.5/5
