August Underground

Just curious if anyone has seen this movie? It's a fake snuff film and is supposed to be really really extreme. It's kinda caught my interest, but I don't really want to blind buy it seeing as it's somewhat expensive and only available directly through the distributer online.

Any opinions on this movie or the sequel, if anyone has seen either of them, would be welcome. Thanks.

Wow, I just read about it on imdb. Sounds very interesting, I'd love to take a look at it. How much is it through the distributer?

$20

That is a bit too much. I just visited the official site, looks like it's really pushing the boundaries.

I've actually heard that this movie IS very extreme. I, too, want to see it, but am kinda skeptical about blind buying. Alas, I cannot tell you anything more. 🙂

sounds interesting.. if anyone gets hold of AU or Mordum.. I'm just a PM away 😗

hehe

I got this movie for Christmas, and was pretty impressed. It does feel very authentic and real. It has a great atmosphere.

The acting is surprisingly competent and the gore and violence is used absolutely perfectly, just enough to make it vile and disturbing, but never over the top to remind you that they're effects. The best praise I can give the effects is that you don't notice them, they feel organic and real, just like the rest of the film.

Also the special features were excellent, the interviews with the filmmaker and others were very interesting and help put the film in the necessary perspective.

$20

well as im lucky enough to be in the UK ill have to order it as its almost $2 to the £ at the mo 😄

August Underground is to a horror movie what herion is to a dirty skanky drug user.

This movie is boring, stupid, worthless crap.

It's more of a serial killers sick ass fantasy video, they wack off over the shit.

Since you're apparently knowledgeable about what murderers jack off too, can you tell me what kind of lube they use? Should be interesting.

But yeah, you just prove this film isn't for most people, nor should it be. It's a film for fans of the most hardcore and vile shit out there, stuff you can't go rent at Blockbuster or buy at Walmart, and no one else.

I wanna see this film but its too pricey .

I plan on watching it this weekend.

wouldn't that mean it'd be exactly what horror fans want?

Im thinking of buying August underground's penance off ebay from the usa. What are the chances of customs taking it ?

I've heard a lot of people in the UK have trouble getting a copy from the US.

If it's a chance your willing to take, so be it, just don't get your hopes up.

im going to check this out .. what about the sequel titled Mordum (2003) ????

Haven't seen the sequel yet.

But from what I understand it's quite a bit different from the original, less effective and subtle, and much more over the top with the violence and effects.

They've also just made a new one called Penance that is supposed to kinda get back to teh roots.

I really should order the both of them....

wow A.U. is sick .. the realism from the cam style video capture makes the torture scenes ever more disturbing .. than say something like Hostel.. i should have known better before viewing it.. i never want to see it again (:

I watched August Underground's Mordum tonight and wow is it ****ed up . The bad thing about it is the camera sometimes its a pain in the ass but it also makes it seem more than just a film.

I refuse to pay more than $10.00 for a bootleg copy. Still, I want to see it!
