What Is The Institute About?

According to the Screenrant, The Institute follows the story of Luke Ellis, a gifted twelve year old boy whose life takes a dark turn when his parents are brutally murdered. He is then kidnapped and taken to a mysterious organisation known as “ The Institute”, Luke finds himself surrounded by children with unusual abilities. Many of them possess telekinetic or telepathic powers, reminiscent of Eleven’s abilities in Stranger Things.

The kids at The Institute are experimented and manipulated psychologically by a mysterious entity. As Luke starts to unravel the secrets around the facility, he finds out that escape would be his lone hope for survival. The fusion of supernatural stuff, government secrets, and a coming-of-age story in this novel makes for an engaging film for suspense lovers and horror fiction enthusiasts.
