Trauma

Well let me start by saying it's not as bad as people think it is. Its brutal but not bad. Good story, Great effects, and good acting. "A Serbian Film" is much worse.

Anyway .. not for the faint of heart though. And not a movie you should see with your parents or a first date type of deal. Unless she or he is into those type of movies.

-Stupid script; -stupid dialogue; -gratuitious nudity and full frontals galore; -stupid "based on a true story" BS historical context with the Chilean dictatorship (exploiting history and victims); -shock for the sake of shocking; -confused plot; -plot holes; Etc.

Not much to say about this one, it tries to top aA Serbian Film but fails because ASF, how exploitative it might be, actually has a somewhat coherent plot.

This grabbage doesn't.

A tedious watch, where the overall garbageness overwhelms everything else.

Wasnt sure how to rate this film,if you can get past first 4 minutes, you ll make the rest of it...its definitely up there, as far as exploitation n violence.......gotta b in your wheelhouse..

Senseles violence, rape, torture. ... no rhyme or reason. Where is the plot? A movie like A Serbian Film does a better job telling this sort of messed up story. I had to turn this film off because I got tired of hearing the same screaming over and over and over.

Some other reviewers like to talk bad about anyone who enjoys these types of movies, such as A Serbian Film. But the truth is that there is a market for this type of art, if done correctly. This movie failed at bringing together a solid story.

With a clear intention to shock, "Trauma" (2017) perhaps represents one of the most brutal examples of the horror genre. The film's plot is anchored in the deep scars that Pinochet's dictatorship left in Chile and its society, exploring a narrative full of violence and taboo themes.

The film has its highlights, such as the villain Juan, a memorable character devoid of compassion, well-crafted gore scenes, a constant tension and discomfort that permeate most of the work, as well as an underlying social criticism, although, in some moments , this criticism may seem like a mere excuse for the continued presentation of brutality. However, the performances of the main cast leave something to be desired at times, with the character Andrea being the only one to really stand out. Additionally, there are times when digital visual effects look strange and unrealistic.

"Trauma" is not a film aimed at the general public, as its plot is dark, its violence is excessively graphic and it addresses extremely delicate or disturbing themes. In this way, the only audience that will be attracted to this work is those who are entering the universe of extreme cinema or consider themselves a fan of this genre.
