Cast

Production

Filming wrapped in October 2022. [2] The film was shot in New York City. [3] Collider compared the 'A-class" casting of the film and its "minusucle budget" to those of the still-teenager director's first feature effort, Forty Winks. [4]

Release

The film was released in the United States on July 18, 2025. [5]

Reception

The film has a 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on six reviews. [6]

Bobby LePire of Film Threat rated the film a 9.5 out of 10 and wrote, "But if one doesn’t mind some odd moments, then Parker’s motion picture will scratch that neo-noir itch in the best possible way." [7]

Michael Talbot-Haynes, also of Film Threat, rated the film a 7 out of 10 and wrote, "Sure, Atrabilious has flaws and shortcomings, but the promise shown here is unmistakable." [8]

High on films wrote it was, "An intriguing premise marred by lackluster execution". [9] Another review praised the 'gritty' atmosphere of the film but admitted the plotline could be confusing. [10]
