guitardawson I enjoy the genre that this movie is going for, but it never even gets close. It feels like a couple of teenagers trying to be hardcore but they just don't get it. It's not scary, disturbing, or entertaining in any way. Most of the characters are annoying and there isn't really a plot. Yuck...and not in a good way.

Brettyboy007 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.

D. Ceased "August Underground". This movie has been smeared as graphically intense, the most brutal movie ever, blah blah blah, malarkey. This movie is not that violent, any person who has seen a few splatter or slasher movies can handle it. The blood is pink for god sakes! The plot of this movie is... Well, two guys just going around doing dumb stuff, and laughing. Splice in two or three scenes of actual violence and you got this movie. It's terrible.The acting is actually kinda good. They all act like real people... Except that one of the victims is laughing!! Really? You think they would have noticed that, maybe re-shot the scene... Maybe!?! If you want genuinely graphic movies, watch the two sequels, they are far more brutal, avoid this stinker, it's really bad!

Scott Jacobs August Underground. One Word: Poo. Seriously, i was expecting myself to be turning away in disgust and feeling sick. But what i saw...well bored me senseless. I read so much about this film and it didn't deliver. I'm so disappointed. This film is not worth watching, it's so much pointless violence and filth, with no plot, just two very mean people doing very mean things. Cannibal holocaust was worse than this and that was made in the 80's. Seems that Old Skool won this time! OK now i go on to spoilers to complete my rant, so to those who want to view this piece of crap don't look.Its a great film, don't watch it.***********SPOILERS************** OK so our two main characters are turds. They think they're hilarious but they're not. At the start the fat guys says to his partner 'Your gonna love this' and then it was a tied up bloody woman, and they started laughing. He sounded like an elf. Really annoying after a while. Then the fat guy shows the body of the boyfriend to his mate. Which his mate asks, 'Wheres his penis!' and starts laughing. Not funny really? Just a bit annoying. Then like, they pick up some woman who they approach her saying 'Hey sweetie'. It's the middle of the night, and she still got in the car with two guys. Fool. Then they get her to flash and its like wow, you saw a pair of boobs, don't get all giddy. Then the bit in the supermarket it just gay. 'SNIFF HER ARSE!' So you kill people, rape them and stuff, and you evil plan is to sniff they're bums. Smells beautiful i bet. Then ending, if i had taken it seriously, was pretty like disturbing but its over so quickly i didn't take it in and the killer like, stops raping her pulls up his pants, and carries on smacking her over the head? He was like 'OH CRAP' its like you don't feel remorse? What? This film is stupid.
