The Atuk movie has gone down in Hollywood history, notorious for being connected to a string of tragic deaths — yet the film didn’t even make it through production.
But is there such a thing as the curse of the Atuk movie, or is there something else going on here?
⚠️ Naturally, this one is quite dark, there is a lot of talk about death, and there are also conversations around drug use and suicide, so please only tune in if you feel okay diving into these topics 🖤

My whole aim for this channel is to educate and entertain you lovely people, using accurate factual information and personal experiences to the best of my knowledge. I spend hours and hours on the research for each one of my videos, using sources that I like to think are trustworthy. But let’s face it, no one’s perfect, and when you’re dealing with anything in history, especially the paranormal, mistakes will happen. If you’re interested, I’d highly recommend you do your own research, and if I have made a mistake, please tell me about it!
