The Spanish found-footage horror nightmare ATROCIOUS will hit theaters beginning on AUGUST 17th for a special engagement. The film joins the “Night Terrors” film series where The Collective, AMC Theatres and Bloody-Disgusting.com have teamed up to distribute the best new horror and thriller titles from the festival and international markets to AMC theatres across America.
Like a lot of people, I’m sort of burned out on found-footage flicks, but this one looks particularly interesting and creepy. I’m glad people will get a chance to check it out; I hope to myself…
Here are the ATROCIOUS showtimes for AMC theaters across the US:
Wed 8/17 @10pm
Fri 8/19 @midnight
Wed 8/24 @10pm
Fri 8/26 @midnight
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.
