August Underground is one of the most amazing horror movies to ever be seen. This is not your usual Friday the 13th/Chucky/Nightmare on Elm Street type horror movies. This movie will make you have a queasy feeling inside you as it did me. The only other movie I've seen that made me have a queasy feeling in me was Slither. August Underground had the feeling in me longer than Slither.August Underground is about two men. The killer (played perfectly by Fred Vogel who is also the director and CEO of ToeTag Pictures) and his friend (who plays the cameraman) go around and film their exploits on their victims. Fred Vogel rapes, kills, pukes, and does other revolting things in this movie. This movie introduced me to underground horror.There is not really a plot in this movie, but there isn't supposed to be. It is just a simulated snuff film. It is supposed to show how serial killers really are. They are perfectly normal people during the day, but at night, they turn into killers and show their "talents" to their victims.A lot of the scenes in this movie I just couldn't stand (in a good way). Fred really did do his job and this movie deserves it's justice. In his interviews, he is a chill guy and he is polar opposite in AU. This movie makes you question whether or not the victims were real people getting killed. They did an excellent job. I think the scene that really got me was the brothers scene. God, it was so disturbing and graphic.The female victim scenes were revolting as well. The whole movie is disturbing but it is supposed to be.I really don't understand the negative reviews saying the movie is garbage and ToeTag should shut down and everyone involved be killed. It is simply a horror movie. True horror. Nothing more. The people that watch this aren't going to kill people after watching it. They just like horror movies same as someone who likes romantic or comedy movies.I have August Underground: Mordum and have ordered August Underground: Penance. I heard that Mordum is the most vile out of the trilogy. August Underground looks to be pretty tame compared to the other two. AU to me was pretty graphic so I'll have to decide that.I hope I meet Fred one day and get my DVDS signed and tell him what a great director/actor he is. I will be getting Maskhead and Sella Turcica eventually as well.Long live ToeTag!P.S. I have the 2 Disc Snuff Edition of August Underground and let me tell you: The special features opening was scary as hell! Fred is with another victim telling her to tell the viewers to pick a special feature and it is just super scary.

This is one of the more "famous" exploitation films of the new century. Too bad it sucks.It's about a psychopath serial killer who is followed by his friend with a bad video camera, filming his every move. There is no plot - we just see Peter, the killer, roam around and act like a jerk and sometimes kill people.The most shocking part of this movie is the first 15 minutes, when we see a girl who has been tied up and tortured. Her dead boyfriend is in a bathtub in the next room. It's a fairly effective use of gory special effects and a chilling example of the hidden lives of serial killers.Once they leave their house for the first time, however, the movie falls apart. After that, they just turn into stereotypical frat boys who wander around and do immature pranks and annoy people. The script is stupid and unrealistic. I have never seen a movie go from disturbing to boring quicker than this one. The acting is terrible. Peter, the main character, has a super annoying laugh that I guess is supposed to be psychotic, but just makes me want to turn the volume down. We never see the guy holding the video camera, which is good because he mostly just makes bad jokes and acts like he has low self-esteem. They are more believable as pathetic losers than hardened killers.The lesson of this movie is that psychopaths are actually lonely frat boys who are desperate for friends.

Worst pile of BS ever put to celluloid but given the production value they probably skipped on that. I just spent 1 hour and 34 mins of my dire life watching the most diabolical crime against film (and I've watched some awful films in my time) I wanted to punch my own face until con caved having wasted my time on this utter pile of feaces. I actually hate myself for watching it, but not as much as I hate the financier, "actors", "directors" of this puke. Also I hope that everyone involved in this ends up parking cars and pumping gas bump bump bump do you know the way to St Jose.Utter, utter s**t don't bother

I'd heard a lot about this film so decided I had to check it out for myself. I was expecting it to be extremely violent and sickening and one of the most shocking films I had seen. It didn't live up to my expectations one bit, in fact it bored me. There wasn't much violence in it, but instead a lot of random video of nothing and half the time it was hard to tell what was even on screen. I know it's supposed to look like a homemade video but their camera must have been from the 80's. There wasn't much sex involved in the film either. If you're looking for a really shocking film, don't believe the hype with this one.
