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 🖤
