I understand that starting off 2015 with a movie called Atrocity sounds like betting on a one-legged greyhound, but some of my favorite indie horror flicks have the most bizarre names imaginable, so I gambled my Sunday night on Jeff S. Chimenti’s low-budget slasher. Then I remembered my last few casino trips and the continual bad-luck-streak hovering over my head – something this hormonal slasher wasn’t going to turn around.
Atrocity is built just as you’d expect any January-released-found-footage-horror-movie to be, marred by grainy imagery and a curiously inept script that banks on law enforcement officers who exhibit the mental capacity of a soggy potato. If any of you aspiring murderers out there are looking for a quick tutorial, Chimeneti will surely teach you an important first lesson – the smaller the town, the more useless police officers are. Too bad such bumbling hilarity makes for an absolutely brainless cinematic watch.
