One of Hugo's (Guilherme Prates) great desires is to be part of his older brother's motocross group. Determined, he steals some parts so he can assemble his motorcycle. When he gets the feat, he meets his brother's gang at a remote waterfall, where they make a trail and come across an old wall. Hugo suggests that they take down the wall and go on the adventure, but they end up finding the owner of the junkyard where Hugo stole the parts. She invites them to an even more radical path, only the fun turns into a race for survival when they are pursued by sadistic and supernatural bikers.
This is a thriller movie different from what fans of the genre are used to. The director Vicente Amorim made one thriller that escapes the clichés with strong scenes and colors drawn to red and jump scares. It doesn't give away the villains' motivation, location or time. It's practically a horror, suspense, a graphic novel for the fan to have fun.
In many parts it even reminds me of movies like cornered (Duel) 1971, where a businessman (Dennis Weaver) drives alone on a side road, when he suddenly finds himself being chased by a truck driver (Lou Frizzell). After some time, he comes to the conclusion that the man intends to kill him. Simple and objective.

At other points, a little Death Takes a Ride from 1986 and other classics. in the history of Death hitchhikes, a young man, Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell), is taking a car to California. On the way he gives a ride to a psychopath, John Ryder (Rutger Hauer), which kills all the drivers who give it a ride. However, Jim manages to escape but the mad assassin begins to pursue him relentlessly. To make matters worse, the police think that Jim is the perpetrator of the killings.

The stories are different, but in all three they have something in common: engine and villains with no need to explain who they are.
Current movies of this genre spend a lot of their time 'trying' to explain the villains' motivation. They explain in every way, even going so far as to give psychological diagnoses and their traumas.
motorrad is different! Starting with your style. With cold colors, pulling for a noir and keeping the tones light, he distances himself from the suspense in not showing anything with the abuse of darkness, like current movies and that sometimes also resemble old games of Survive Horror that need to be like this to hide their graphical errors. motorrad does not use and goes to the depths of not being subtle.
By the way, motorrad I might as well get into this category of Survive Horror since it is practically a story without dialogue, where the unbridled action takes place, with the actors only showing fear and pain through their interpretation, this film knows how to talk to the spectator, as well as the best games of the genre.
The film brings a character, Hugo, with his naivety just wanting to be part of the group. Like any young man who “wants to be a part of it”, he is polite, always smiling and solicitous. The "class", however, are not cliché characters that always belittle the protagonist. By no means are they just there to have fun and serve the plot. During the story several things happen, leading the character to his growth. It's basic and ideal. You don't need anything else.

The villains are there with their sadism. But without the obligatory blood spurting across the screen or something slashing. In this respect, they are very reminiscent of Jason (Friday 13) in pursuit, without needing to run to capture their prey. AND motorrad that's it. A hunt for bikers who only want blood. They intelligently use the environment they are in. Serra da Canastra, MG, where the filming was made, makes this explicit. The environment is the enemy. Not just your pursuers.
motorrad it's practically a Graphic Novel, since their characters were created by the cartoonist Danilo Beyruth (Astronaut, Band of 2, between others). The game of cameras, photography and narrative is practically a transposition from the pages of the comics to the screens. Unfortunately, motorrad doesn't have a quad.
This is a movie to be seen differently. To sit in the movie theater and get used to the psychological terror that the story brings. With its absurd silence that is only perceived until the first sentence of one of the characters until the noise pollution of the motorbikes.
The ending can leave many people in doubt. Therefore, we leave the director's sentence, but without spoilers: "She is the introduction to Hugo's growth. She shows him who he is and how far he can go.motorrad at many points"it is the lack of meaning in life, which consists of suffering and struggle, driven by an irrational force, which we can call will..” It is, as the director himself said, a bit of Friedrich Nietzsche.
And let the curtains go up! To the next!
