Atroz

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.

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.

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.

.

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.
