Atrocious (2010) Movie Review

Atrocious (2010) (IMDB)

Atrocious movie poster

This movie starts with a quote:

“La mente es un labrinto en el que cualquiera puede perderse” OR in English : “The mind is a labyrinth in which anyone can get lost”

A brother and sister host a web show about the paranormal and during a spring trip to the family’s summer home they take along their cameras to pass the time. So, yes, this horror movie is shot in the style of a found footage film, with shaky camerawork, low budget looks, and occasional dark screens with people running with a camera at night. The siblings delve into a legend about a girl who got lost wandering the woods in the area in 1940. Behind a locked gate at the property they explore a large maze that is very overgrown. I would call it a hedge maze but it seems to be more trees, bushes and natural grasses. The maze also includes a well and a domed gazebo structure. The film is short, running only 79 minutes, but a significant portion of this movie takes place in the maze. Overall the movie is ok. Found footage can get annoying when the night and shaky scenes are on.

I give it a 5.2/10
