August Underground's MORDUM DVD

If you haven't yet read my review for "AUGUST UNDERGROUND" please go check it out. This is the second entry in the trilogy and is by far the nastiest, sleaziest, and most disgusting. Nevertheless, it never comes off as forced or improbable. The movie looks honest and real for what it is. I give the actors/actresses an unspeakable amount of credit for this! I dare anyone to go through what they went through to make this film. And it might do good to mention that just because an actor/actress acts out certain things in a movie does not mean that that's what they do for fun on their own spare time. ITS A MOVIE!!! It's supposed to be honest and the cast was UNBELIEVABLY true to the characters created for the film. Remember people, not everyone is the same or thinks the same. We are all different people and there certainly are people out there like this so it's wrong to say that these characters are in any way not believable. The acting is as good as it possibly gets for what the movie is. Which is a "found footage" torture/exploitation/horror godsend. This is the real deal in underground extreme horror. Prepare yourself for the most disturbing movie you will ever see. And do yourself a favor and don't ever be caught watching this by anyone you care about or they will really start to judge your character :) enjoy and don't forget to watch the final movie PENANCE (the best in my opinion). Peace!

I love this movie! How it was shot, the extreme brutality and the FX. This is gold for any true horror fan! This is my favorite movie outta the trilogy.

Consider this not exactly as a review, but as a warning from a friend, in case you haven't seen this film yet and are curious about it. There are already many good reviews here dealing with the cinematographic, technical, cultural etc aspects of this film, so I won't add anything new there. This is not about the film, but about you, the potential viewer.As many other reviewers, I've seen a significant amount of "extreme" or strong horror movies. Fear and shock are powerful emotions, and films are a safe and entertaining way of experiencing them. Some of them left a deep impression in me, sometimes for a few days, but that eventually vanishes.With this film, it's a different story. It may leave permanent scars in your mind that will ruin some of the best experiences of your life, such as witnessing the birth of your child or lying in bed caressing a son's hair. Violent and obscene thoughts will keep intruding, and it's scary for me to think how much this can affect some people. If you think that you may belong to this group, don't risk it. There are many good films out there, and you may go on living without watching this one. Otherwise, go and watch it, but just remember that images can not be erased from your brain afterwards.This is why this is so different. The fear does not come during the movie. It comes after. And it is too real.

Watching this for plot would be pointless. But as for the direction of the film, it's genius. Fred Vogel has a film that's grainy but yet a good insight on the life of a serial killer. The film shows some grotesque scenes and then the camera would veer off so you wouldn't see everything. The things people fear the most is what they don't see. But this is not for everybody.

If you like gore or super dark sick stuff Fred Vogels August Underground is for you this is the 2nd movie in the trilogy and it is the sickest super good gore effects for a found footage 2003 film. Toe tag is an awesome company and this movie is definitely not for the faint hearted. Get ready to see the life of killers who have no care for other human lives.

On all these lists online, people credit this as being "the most disturbing movie ever". Well, they're wrong, at least in my opinion. Yes, the content in theory is depraved, inhuman, etc. However, the thing is is that the "found snuff film" the director was going for is what ruins in entirely. It's out of focus, terribly shot, and just hard to watch becuase of it. There's also this constant whining or screeching sound in the background that will quickly grate on your nerves.I'll give the FX guys, credit though, the gore and torture is well done for being shot on a VHS camera they found in a dumpster behind the KFC. Even that being said, if you can stomach the violence, you'll have to sit through the most boring hour and a half expoitation film you'll ever see. I found myself skipping forward in the film, not because I needed to get past the "disturbing" bits, but because I wanted to get to a part in which SOMETHING FINALLY HAPPENED, and then the film just abruptly ended.There is seriously nothing to like about this film. If you want realistic super torture then watch 'Martyrs', or if you want something to actually be disturbed by that isn't a total snooze fest watch 'A Serbian Film', or literally ANYTHING ELSE.Oh, I do need to mention, I did almost vomit while watching this. Not because of any stomach churning violence, but because there's a scene in the film in which one of the main charcters hocks loogies into their victims' mouths. Which leads me to the vomit in this film. There's a lot of it.Just don't watch this movie. It's not worth the time or money you'll put into this in hopes of watching "The most disturbing film ever", because there's always a lot worse you can watch. You'll be more disturbed by "Trash Humpers" than by this film. On an out of print DVD version of the film, Rue Morgue (Which I've never heard of) states that it is probably a legitimate snuff film. I can assure you it's not. Not anywhere close.EDIT: Oh, and to make matters worse, I paid around $22 for this DVD. TWENTY TWO FREAKING DOLLARS! That is straight from ToeTag, too. If your REALLY do want this film, buy it from their website, since it's cheaper than on Amazon.
