This movie would have been awesome if it was cut down to about 30 min. I was excited about this movie hoping it would give me the same chills that "The Blair Witch" gave me when I first saw it and to its credit it did… to an extent. I found that this movie spend the majority of the time running around aimlessly in the woods breathing overly heavily with absolutely nothing happening. These scenes got very boring, very fast.

I felt that these overly long scenes killed it for me. At times I felt chills at the back of my neck and that paranoid feeling I get when I'm scared watching a movie and then quickly that would fade away to boredom and annoyance due to a scene that was ridiculously long.

To the movies credit, if they cut those horribly boring long scenes this would have been a great movie. I loved the relationship between the Brother and Sister and how they would go out and explore together even though they were not allowed. It reminded me of my Sister and I when we were younger.

I also loved the whole storyline with a really awesome twist at the end. I loved the creepy maze, creepy house, creepy basement, creepy ghost stories and Etc. There was so much amazing about this movie but when you add overly long scenes of someone annoyingly breathing super close into a mic and a camera shaking and running so much you cant even see what's going on it absolutely kills anything good and creepy about the movie.

Cristian and his sister July travel from Madrid to Sitges, El Garraf, to spend the Holy Week with their parents and their little brother in an old house of their family. They learn the legend of Melinda, a girl wearing a red dress that gets lost in the labyrinth nearby the house and helps people that also get lost in the spot. When they arrive, Carlos, who is a friend of their parents, visits the Quitanilla family and tells that there are different versions of the legend. July and Cristian uses two hand-held camera to visit the labyrinth and investigate the mystery of Melinda. One night, their brother José vanishes and something evil happens with the family.

"Atrocious" is another garbage made with hand-held camera. This crap is among the worse films that I have ever seen and I am not going to spend my leisure time writing about it. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "O Misterioso Assassinato de uma Família" ("The Mysterious Murder of a Family")

The Quintanilla family was found dead and recorded evidence was discovered by the police. Then, a production company acquires the confidential material and edits it into a horror movie.

Obviously, this is a "Blair Witch Project" knockoff. Kids investigating an urban legend in the woods after interviewing a local who knows something about it. I should not even have to say it, but I feel like not saying it would be letting them off the hook for their derivative story.

However, unlike the Blair Witch, there is pretty much no way anyone would believe this was really a pair of kids with cameras. We have to ask, why do they always have cameras? Even when just sitting around, the cameras are on. When they are being chased, and probably have better things to do than worry about filming, the cameras are on. And the quality of the filming just looks too good.

I will give them credit for a really clever original twist (which I shall not reveal). This could have been just another ghost story with hand-held cameras, but they made it something more. Maybe they should not have... but it works, in my opinion.
