Devil’s Attic Haunted Attraction Review by Michala Tyann.
Disclaimer: I personally do not enjoy giving negative
reviews. I believe there is always a little of good in anything, even from a
negative experience. I always share my experiences honestly and candidly. However these are my personal experiences.
Going into this with a Groupon Discount, I still felt that
this haunted attraction was too costly for such a brief visit. sIt really was a
short excursion into the dark side of the Devil’s Attic. They did have some terrific
themes going on within the attraction. Unfortunately, I don’t feel as though
they did enough with them. Their characters were well dressed and make-up was
decent, some even fantastic. And yet, I felt it all lacked something
significant. There were some that got real close and personal-like all up in my
face. And I LIKED THAT! I want that. I want you to scare me, but don’t hit me.
Not with your body and not with your props. I didn’t get hurt or anything…though I did
have to rub at the pain a little on my arm. It wasn’t big enough to make a fuss
about and I do believe it was on accident so I didn’t go further with it. Just
be warned, there are some that do get ‘lost’ in the chaos of the scare and you
may get touched.
I hated the blah kind of feeling I experienced through it
all. Now, the group I was with included my fellow reviewers as well as a father
and his three children. (One of the young boys cried the entire time and it
kind stunted my experience-but that wasn’t the fault of the production or
actors.) What was their fault was…they told me to stand in the back. I was
literally moved to the back and to the side during this event…letting the
younger ones move up front. No one puts Kayla in the corner! And they didn’t
just do this to me. They did it to one of the others in my group. I completely
disliked this aspect and it really stunted my experience.
As I already said, the make-up was good. There was a section
of long pitch black and I really enjoyed this. It isn’t for everybody though.
Still, even without actors, make-up, ect…to me, it’s just really creepy walking
through dark corridors. I did think there were moments-lengthy moments where I
found myself waiting for something to happen during the walk through The Devil’s
Attic and was sorely disappointed when nothing happened. It’s what I call long
dead air. And long dead air is no good to me.
I will say I’d like to highlight a great scene where there
was a lot of blood splatter. Very creative portion. Other scenes lacked effort
and appeal. It really was hit and miss through the entire experience. The Jackel
was pretty neat and I liked the ‘multi-personality dude”. Man, that guy with
the head plate acted 100% in character. I might have even wondered whether he
really was crazy.
On a scale of ten here’s how I rate this experience:
Scenes: 5
Themes: 5
Make-up: 6
Costumes: 6
Things that
go bump in the night: 6
Scare Factor: 5
