A killer cocktail of mystery, grief and revenge where things aren't quite as they seem "ATRABILIOUS" is the sophomore offering from young director Will Parker.

This a micro budget movie with a difference.

Apart from the apparent natural talent the director has for the craft, Will has assembled a truly spectacular cast for his second micro budget movie that includes Leon Addison Brown, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeffrey Wright among other familiar faces. Browns performance in particular, layered with emotion and vulnerability is one of biggest strengths of the movie.

The story itself is a mysterious and at times ambiguous tale that unravels with intriguing consequence throughout the movies duration. It's an intelligently written thriller at times sprinkled with some dark comedy and the premise of the movie is undoubtedly unique. Pacing and minor audio and visual issues (that naturally come with micro budget features) aside the film really shows us above all else that in time and with a bigger budget we really might have an exciting directorial prospect on our hands with Parker.

Atrabilious is the sophomore feature film from director William Atticus Parker.

Like Forty Winks, Atrabilious features a very strong lead performance. This time coming from Leon Addison Brown, who was great throughout the whole film.

As was Mark Boone Junior, who really comes through in the second half of the film with a very strong performance. I've been a fan of his since his work on Last Man on Earth and he really impressed here.

It's become clear that one of Parker's strengths as a creator is his eye for the camera and for great cinematography and great visuals. Atrabilious has some stellar shots throughout the film that will surprise you.

Parker is also a very unique writer as he introduces and talks through topics in a very intriguing way. Each film he's made so far talks through some tough topics and he does it very well and very delicately.

Will Parker's latest addition to his, what appears to be a high potential career, meets expectations as he uses new visual and literature techniques. His ability to use color in this movie was the key stand out as it presented moods that both character and audience will feel. In addition, the cinematography had also created this uncertainty, something which couldn't be done by the B+W in Forty Winks. The movie also had a fantastic antagonist as evident from the fact that a Guillepse in our life wouldn't be useful. I hope the movie receives the recognition and praise that it deserves. I for one am looking forward to the next line of work.
