To say that watching Lex Ortega's brutal horror flick Atroz was a memorable experience is a tad bit of an understatement. There are still things from his film that I cannot 'un-see' in the short three months since I saw it at Morbido. I suspect that they will stick with me for a while longer. I caught wind that a new poster was released recently so I asked Lex to hook a hermano up so we could share it with you. So here it is, one gruesome layer after another. There is a larger version below that you can click on. Icky. ...

I have already said on a handful of occasions that Mexican filmmaker Lex Ortega gave me fair warning that his film Atroz was not going to be a walk in the park. I did not bring the vomit bags from the airplane like he suggested. In the end I did not end up needing one but Atroz is one of the most brutal horror films I have ever seen. There are things that happen in Atroz that I cannot unsee. The film opens with a shocking statement that an extremely high percentage of the hundreds of thousands of murders that happen in Mexico City (just Mexico City? There was some issues with the subtitles throughout) go unsolved. It is more of a set up as to...

If I turn up dead, or drunk, in Mexico when I am down to cover the Morbido Film Festival in a couple weeks I want Atroz/Atrocious director Lex Ortega to be brought in for questioning first. Lex's debut feature film is about to roll out throughout Latin America like a goddamned blood-soaked steamroller and I do not think we are prepared for it. Not one bit. TwitchFilm has your first look at first trailer for the brutal horror flick.Atroz/Atrocious is a film that portrays the story of two serial killers, who after being arrested for causing a traffic accident, police confiscate some videotapes. These tapes contain brutal murders and tortures that show human wickedness, their background, paraphilia and psyche of these murderers. Atroz is going to polarize the...

It was back in early November 2014 when we first reported on Lex Ortega's feature length debut Atrocious (aka Atroz). At the time, Ortega and his producer Abigail Bonilla had just launched a crowdfunding campaign, looking to finish the film as they had already 35 minutes of footage. While the contributions came on slowly, the campaign was eventually a complete success as they got more money of what they originally wanted. Then, the production of the film began on February 20 and wrapped exactly one week ago, on March 2. Ortega is well known within the genre circuit for his violent shorts and his recent segment in the horror anthology México Bárbaro, a project that was his idea. Atrocious will be - according to the...
