Atrocious is directed by Fernando Barreda Luna (Darkness) and stars Rafael Amaya, Jose Masegosa and Chus Pereiro.

Atrocious begins in predictable fashion but builds to become one of the scariest films to come out in years.   In Atrocious it’s dark, then light again, then dark yet again in different environments; and all the while a mostly (but not completely) unseen menace stalks and hunts like a specter in a bad dream.  Atrocious is definitely low-budget and doesn’t break any barriers regarding production quality or performances. What this film does do better than any in recent memory is capture the raw fear of those in peril in a way that transfers the experience to the audience completely and totally, forcing us to experience it to. That is an amazing thing.
