Coming Soon - Atrocious

Carrying on from yesterdays post regarding the Cold Fish release, next in line from The Collective and Bloody Disgusting's Night Terrors is Atrocious. Shot in the vein of movies like The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, Atrocious is set to hit theaters on August 17th on a limited run through AMC theaters. Personally I like these style of movies and will be checking this one out.

Synopsis:

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.

Director Fernando Barreda Luna was born in Mexico in 1983. A screenwriter, editor, producer, and director, he is the founder of production company Nabu Films. Atrocious is his feature film debut.

ATROCIOUS premiered internationally at the 43rd Sitges International Film Festival and then at Slamdance this past January 2011, garnering a tide of online buzz and quick comparisons to 2008's PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
