Overview
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellisās parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except thereās no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talentsātelekinesis and telepathyāwho got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, ālike the roach motel,ā Kalisha says. āYou check in, but you donāt check out.ā
In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you donāt, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute.
As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute is āfirst-rate entertainment that has something important to say. We all need to listenā (The Washington Post).
