When a grief-stricken Isabel Porter (Allie Gallerani) checks herself into the Rosewood Institute, she falls under the spell of the charismatic Dr. Cairn (James Franco). Famed for its reputation as the perfect place for young women to cure their maladies, the institute is a dark building full of secrets and even darker methods for treating its patients. With her life in the doctor's hands, Isabel makes a terrifying discovery as the experiments turn from simply bizarre to horrific. Can she uncover the truth behind Rosewood's doors before she becomes the next of its doomed inhabitants? (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

It's quite impressive how creative James Franco is, how he churns out acting performances, as well as directing and writing. Unfortunately, they are not always gems. It's very evident that Franco loves American authors and is well-read in them. This is reflected in The Institute, which aims to be a bit of horror, a bit of drama, a bit of thriller, but in reality, it's quite empty.
