I've got a lot to talk about, but I'll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible.

You ever seen a movie that's just so eager to shock and repulse that it goes so over-the-top to the point of being unintentionally comedic in it's childishly single-minded nature? We need a new label for this type of stuff. We've all heard of so-bad-it's-good, how 'bout so-extreme-it's-funny? This is one of those movies that, as a whole, could've been very entertaining as extreme over-the-top trash if it wasn't so g*dd*mn stupid, or at least didn't take itself so seriously. Nothing worse than exploitation trash that shoots above its head.

The movie tells the story of two sadistic killers who are caught by police after they get into a car accident, killing a pedestrian. The police commander finds one of their video tapes with reveals the torture and murder of a transvestite prostitute, prompting further investigation (aka police torturing the killers for information... right) and the discovery of more tapes. The story of the killers unfolds through three confiscated videotapes with the police interrogation as the wraparound.

The first tape featuring the aforementioned murder of the transvestite is unusually nasty but mostly dull torture porn. Same for the second tape which shows the murder of another random girl during an aberrant sex scene and then some nasty things are done to her corpse. But it also raises some more questions about the killers motives which are promised to be answered in the third tape, a VHS showing the killers extremely abusive childhood.

In reality, it explains nothing at all about the motives of the first or second murder, actually causing even more confusion. However, this is the segment that, at first, comes the closest to being legitimately disturbing. This goes right out the window later on, when it shows two scenes so ridiculously over-the-top in their attempts to sicken (that come directly after each other no less) that I immediately bust out laughing (something's wrong with me).

As with most found-footage films, there is no adequate explanation provided for why anybody keeps recording during all of this.

Then back to the police station, there is a twist that still explains nothing, and ANOTHER twist that makes zero sense.

So the only reason this gets points is for it's entertainingly childish shock tactics. But one can't help thinking how this could've been a truly grueling experience if placed in the right hands, or something akin to a more extreme Troma if they went the other route.

A sadistic serial killer films his exploits with his sidekick until a cop finds one of their tapes, leading to the discovery of additional tapes. It's through the playback of these recordings that we see what the killer has done and, eventually, what happened to him before he became that way.

This movie is extremely nasty, sadistic, gory, and just gross. It makes the Japanese GROTESQUE look like a Sunday morning cartoon.

Is there a story here? Sure, there's a commentary on how Mexican society treats people who are, uh, different. Yes, very poignant, very relevant. Then there's some last-minute twist in the end that tries to wrap it all up that was like, huh? But it's still better than low budget nonsense like that AUGUST UNDERGROUND thing everyone here keeps comparing it to.

Is a film like this "good"? It depends how you define it. If it's to entertain, then no. This is not a horror film that provides you with safe scares in the comfort of your own home. It's not even a horror film.

But does it shock? Does it push the envelope? Does it do it with at least a halfway plausible motivation? I'd say that there it succeeds. And in that sense, I want to say that yes, it is good. But let's be clear about one thing.

If a movie of this kind does its job right, then it's not something you should ever want to see again. Much like the French MARTYRS, its images will haunt you long after, if not for a lifetime.

So yes. ATROZ is good, man. And definitely worth a watch for those who don't get queasy easily.

Someone said it's boring. It's not.

Someone said it's like that AUGUST thing but with "bad special effects."Haha. No. It's better. Shut up.

Watch it if you're not eating, then give yourself a pat on the back for checking it off your nasties list.

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.

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.

This extremely sadistic movie has a little bit of story for me. It was number one on my Want List, and as usual I searched a little on the Net, and it was nowhere to be found, let alone with English subtitles. So I took a chance and requested it through my local library, never thinking they would actually order it. So, I ordered it for practically nothing from Amazon, and got it a few days ago, and then found out the library HAD ordered it. That's ok, because after just watching it, I'm glad I have the official DVD release.

This Mexican movie is about two sadistic serial killers that get caught after they kill a girl in a traffic accident and arrested. In investigating the incident, the detective discovers some video tapes the two made of their very brutal killings. So a lot of what you see, are the contents of these insanely brutal and sick videos of the torture and killing of their victims. Some events will probably be too much for some viewers, but I thought the whole movie was very very well done and realistic. The videos are very intensely graphic, and borderline X rated and would never play in a theater at least here in the States. There is one set of scenes, where some parents discover their oldest Son is gay, and the Father humiliates him as sadistic as you could. Later, and these are the scenes that affected me the most, is the Son getting revenge on his Father and Mother. What he does to them, I won't reveal but believe me, it could not be anymore extreme and brutal, and a little hard to watch. So to sum this up, this is a movie that is hard to recommend except to people like ME, that have seen the hardest core movies ever released, and that is what I want. As I said, it is sadistic, bloody, and even the police hold nothing back in trying to get a confession from the killers. If you are not a fan of the sick and twisted, and very graphic, then stay away. I present this movie with my Gorehound Delight honor, my highest award to any movie in the genre. One extremely nasty movie, and I loved it. 4/5

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.

This film tries too hard to be AU and falls short. It does have a storyline and ok acting in places but the camera work is dreadful (and I'm not talking about the found footage parts which at least have an excuse for being bad) The gore make up is pretty poor also. Shame.

They did try to push it to the extreme but had a long way to go. Worst you get is a little poo and pee.

Some scenes were filmed on camcorder yet not explained why?

I had heard about the film and wondered if would live up to the hype. Sadly as usual it didn't.

It's an OK attempt a d will be too much for the standard horror fan but gorehounds will wish they had spent a bit more time on realistic fx and less on fake poo. Ha ha.

Watch TRAUMA instead. A far superior film in all ways.

Atroz deserves its reputation, no doubt. The violence it depicts is excessive and disturbing, but not gratuitous. (I can't say the same for a lot of recent Hollywood torture porn I've seen, which I find incredibly cynical.)

I had to finish this film over several days-and it's not a long film-but I finished it, and that always carries a lot of weight with my overall impression of a film's worth. You've been warned, but if you're ready for very realistic atrocity, you should watch this film.

You will wince a few times in this movie. If not from the the graphic scenes, from the camera movement. It starts off very rough and seems to just be a snuff film. Glad I kept on and saw the bit of story develop.

Laughable torture porn wannabe for zeros.

Moronic to say the least.

Our film goes like a found footage, it is connected to a theme and resembles various films.

The violence of the scenes was interesting, but I said that the full effects were not done and many scenes were quite meaningless. The plot was also disconnected and the ending was not enough in the film, of course the scene where it goes to the past with various details and such was interesting and it had the air of being an unforgettable disturbing film. I actually find it interesting that it is also a Mexican production.

I say give the Atroz film a chance, but I don't know if it is enough? If you want to watch an extreme film, look at more interesting points.

I heard from so many people on YouTube etc this was up there with "a Serbian film" and all the other extreme movies.

Curiosity always gets the better of me so I gave it a watch. It is up there as one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Gets 2 stars as a couple of scenes made me raise my eyebrows. But overall it is utter rubbish. Literally started fast forwarding towards the end because it was that slow. Do NOT waste your time. You can read about the 1 or 2 violent scenes and save your time. The film is ridiculous and doesn't deserve the notoriety. One particular scene at the end that was probably meant to be shocking and disturbing made me laugh out loud at how ridiculous it was.

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.

Through the years i seen many of these kind of movies and honestly, atroz is still the best in his kind, for me. I hope they make more like this.

I watched many disturbing movie in my life such as the human centipede series, A Serbian film, melandeangel etc I think personally this film is too much disturbing it felt like real life scne murder rape adult scne from real life tape melandeangel also was pretty disgusting and disturbing so I pretty enjoyed this film like there is so much insane stuff going here gore cut blood uncensored vomit serious masterpiece lvl disturbing it really touch your skin nowhere I was shaking like how creepy and disgusting the scene was so I can tell it is MOST DANGEROUS FILM EVER FOR KIDS AND TEEN ALSO 25+ content 10 out of 10.
