Review of Atrocious

Atrocious (2015)
7/10
Very nasty and sadistic
2 June 2018
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
