Atroz

Laughable torture porn wannabe for zeros.

Moronic to say the least.

.

I was gonna give this movie a 2 but after seeing the estimated budget everything makes much more sense. The audio mixing is terribly done, and the story could have been written better, especially the conspiracy part. Same with the special effects.

I cant really recommend this movie.

Considered the most violent horror film in the history of Mexican cinema, "Atroz" (2015) impresses with its scenes of torture and sadism, consolidating itself as one of the most disturbing productions in the country.

Flirting with the Found Footage style at certain moments, the grotesque feature features an excess of scenes of violence, supporting a simple plot without major innovations. Many of the recordings found by the characters are indeed disturbing, although the quality of the practical effects varies between well and poorly executed. Even though the script addresses a fragment of the cruel Mexican reality, this context seems to serve only as an excuse to explore violence and show shocking scenes to the public, since the narrative lacks cohesion. Regarding the final events, the film ends in an exaggerated and bizarre way, an element that aligns with the entire proposal of the film.

Whether or not it addresses a close reality, "Atroz" is definitely not intended for the general public, being difficult to digest even for long-time aficionados of the genre. Despite its efficient execution in certain aspects, the work, overall, is not pleasing, becoming just another ultra-violent feature.

Brutal beyond compare, this movie ranks up there with the likes of Marian Dora, Lucifer Valentine, August Underground, Snuff 102, Salo, A Serbian Film and Cannibal Holocaust as among the most difficult films to stomach. Interestingly, there is a plot to "Atroz" amid the graphic decadence that makes viewing it worth it. Sure, this film isn't for everyone, and I'm quite convinced the $67 it made in theatres was because of people like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, the Green River Killer and so on.

Read the title above and that's all you need to know about this 'movie'.

A worthless, unecessary, and sick attempt to make a found-footage film just as an excuse to show how sadistic and sick a person can be.
