Atrocity (2014)
25KAtrocity: Directed by Jeff S. Chimenti. With Luke Wright, Ryan Claxton, Brittney Karbowski, Lauren Leal. When a nineteen-year-old boy, Zach Carter, decides to ambush his girlfriend at her house one night in order to catch her cheating on video, he and his friends are hit with some devastating surprises that quickly escalate the situation out of control until something unbelievably shocking and horrifying takes place. Seven years later, a police detective and sheriff involved in the original investigation show several videos and discuss facts about the incident that are frightening and confusing, but the chilling discovery of a missing video reveals that the “real” truth is much worse than anyone originally feared in perhaps the most disturbing reality video sequence ever seen.
“Well Iu0026#39;ve been on an Amazon Prime bender. u0026quot;Atrocityu0026quot; is basically two parts. One part is recovered found footage of a Teen Birthday party gone awry. So lots of u0026quot;DudeBrou0026quot; douchebag talk, cussing, and posturing. Lots of yelling and screaming. It grates on the nerves. But given the situation itu0026#39;s believable. What happened during the party??u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe next half is clips of an interrogation. This is coupled with commentary by a team of Detectives trying to piece together what went down. At times itu0026#39;s almost like an episode from Investigation Discovery etc.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOddly it is compelling in that you want to find out what exactly happened. You see itu0026#39;s finally pieced together years later. True enough the kids arenu0026#39;t exactly likeable but Iu0026#39;ve known people like them in College. u0026quot;Animal houseu0026quot; this is not. There is little to no joy to be had here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis isnu0026#39;t a typical found footage. There is no Supernatural entity…. No ghosts or haunted houses. This one is fairly realistic… Maybe too much.”
