A killer cocktail of mystery, grief and revenge where things aren't quite as they seem
"ATRABILIOUS" is the sophomore offering from young director Will Parker.
This a micro budget movie with a difference.
Apart from the apparent natural talent the director has for the craft, Will has assembled a truly spectacular cast for his second micro budget movie that includes Leon Addison Brown, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeffrey Wright among other familiar faces. Browns performance in particular, layered with emotion and vulnerability is one of biggest strengths of the movie.
The story itself is a mysterious and at times ambiguous tale that unravels with intriguing consequence throughout the movies duration. It's an intelligently written thriller at times sprinkled with some dark comedy and the premise of the movie is undoubtedly unique. Pacing and minor audio and visual issues (that naturally come with micro budget features) aside the film really shows us above all else that in time and with a bigger budget we really might have an exciting directorial prospect on our hands with Parker.
