This feature film tells the story of two serial killers whom the police confiscate video tapes after being arrested for causing a traffic accident. It is precise to mention that, to be able to see this film you need to be an adult since it has explicit violence.

Although "Atroz" is Lex Ortega's opera prima, the audience and the press have already tagged as the cruelest Mexican movie in history and possibly is classified in the top 20 of the most brutal and explicit movies in the world.
