The premise

Quintanilla family was found dead in their country side house. Police reported the existence of 37 hours of recorded evidence. The family traveled to their old farm house, where they investigated about the Legend of the Girl in the Garraf woods. They used to record whatever they did. Atrocious shows the last five days of this family, and the strange situations that they lived in those moments and which remain unexplained.

Horror Vault's take

When the Quintanilla family retreats to their rural Spanish farmhouse, two siblings become fixated on a local legend said to haunt the surrounding woods — and begin capturing everything on camera. What starts as curious amateur investigation steadily curdles into something far more sinister lurking beyond the tree line. Spanish found-footage horror Atrocious frames its story as recovered police evidence, lending an icy procedural weight to the mounting dread. The labyrinthine woodland setting becomes a character in itself, trapping both the family and the viewer in a spiral of escalating terror.
