7/10
Trauma is nasty. It’s a brutal, horrifying journey into ultimate atrocity related to a corrupt Chilean gov't militia. This is a highly unnerving film that is focused on inhuman acts inflicted on others, which are completely void of emotion and remorse. Go to Full Review

Rojas crafts a queasy tale by weaving Pinochet’s lasting influence of brutality through to the present, illustrating how transgenerational trauma continues on indefinitely in a nation’s blood. Go to Full Review

Overall this is a disgusting and disturbing movie and I probably wouldn't recommend it... It's not one of the better made ones that have a really interesting take-away. Go to Full Review

Rayne K @StardreamerSky 2 days ago It took me a very long time to finish this movie. It's horrifying, it's brutal, it's sickening, and it makes you go to bed feeling...how can I say it...not right in the head. The opening scene would make even the most desensitized horror fans lose their lunch. And I have seen some messed up movies. I can give it credit for being historically accurate, so it might be unfair to label it "cheap exploitation." However, aside from the most graphic violence I have ever seen on screen, this film offers very little in terms of emotional connection or suspense. It doesn't even give you time to process the cruelty. It puts it right in your face the minute the film starts rolling. If you enjoyed A Serbian Film, you might enjoy Trauma. But it's definitely one I probably won't watch again.

Director Lucio Rojas bypasses the typical tropes of Latin American horror to deliver something far more primal and disturbing. This isn’t just "torture porn"; it’s a visceral exploration of how systemic cruelty—specifically the ghosts of the Pinochet dictatorship—can mutate into a localized, hereditary madness. The film operates on a logic of total transgression. From the opening frame, it forces the audience to confront a cycle of violence that feels like a broken feedback loop: endless, agonizing, and impossible to ignore. Daniel Antivilo’s performance is the anchor of this nightmare, portraying a monster that is chillingly human rather than supernatural. It is a difficult watch, designed to leave a permanent mark. By blending extreme gore with real historical scars, *Trauma* serves as a reminder that some wounds never truly heal—they just fester in the dark.

It was just vulgar and not exciting at all. See more Read all reviews
