Atroz (Producer Ruggero Deodato) -- The plot is simple, 2 serial killers are caught & footage is uncovered of their crimes. The gore is very real, Faces of Death or news footage level. It is beautifully shot, cleverly dancing back & forth between pristine images to grainy distressed footage.
My biggest issue with it is that it feels like one long well presented torture porn video. Definitely style over substance for the first half, I want plot, backstory etc. Also the first murder reminds me of something Fred Vogel did down to rubbing shit in wounds. There is too much playing with bodily fluids & solids in this for me which disgusts rather than disturbs me.
By the third murder it finally has reached the level of disturbing me so I am taking a little break ATM. I think it's worth watching once simply because it's a great looking film, but so far I don't see me re-watching the whole thing. Maybe the third murder I would watch again until it stops being shocking.
