News today has The Collective & Bloody-Disgusting snatching up the US rights to Fernando Barreda Luna’s Spanish thriller from Celluloid Nightmares. Thanks to this deal ATROCIOUS will see a limited theatrical run in at least 32 key markets through The Collective and Bloody-Disgusting’s partnership with AMC Theaters. The film will then hit DVD courtesy of The Collective’s partnership with Vivendi Universal.
In April of 2010, Spanish police reported the discovery of 37 hours of recorded evidence that shed new light on a gruesome murder investigation. The found footage documents a family of five spending their holidays at their summer house, where brother-and-sister Cristian and July Quintanilla pass the time investigating a terrifying local urban legend. As their investigation intensifies strange occurrences in and around the house escalate rapidly, before culminating in unspeakable atrocities.
I suppose this is some pretty awesome news for anyone looking forward to ATROCIOUS, right? Hell I wouldn’t mind giving it a go. As soon as we get word on some release dates for ATROCIOUS you can bet we’ll pass the goods along to all of you.
