The official U.S. trailer for ATROCIOUS is available for viewing below. The Spanish-language found footage film will be released at limited AMC locations beginning on August 17 (with showings scheduled on Wednesday and Friday nights) via Bloody Disgusting Selects.
The movie is written and directed by Fernando Barreda Luna and stars Cristian Valencia, Clara Moraleda, Chus Pereiro, Javi Doz Guzman, Jose Masegosa and Sergi Martin. It played at Sitges and Slamdance and has drawn comparisons to PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. Watching the trailer, you will immediately understand why.
ATROCIOUS is a gruesome, mind-bending thriller shot in a style reminiscent of ‘The Blair Witch Project’. The horror film excerpts found footage from a film reel recovered by Spanish police, documenting a family of five discovering the truth behind a dangerous urban legend. The 37 hours of found footage follow Cristian and July Quintanilla passing time at their summer home by investigating a terrifying and mysterious urban legend. As their investigation intensifies, strange occurrences in and around the house escalate rapidly, culminating finally in unspeakable atrocities.
