August Underground

I just had the "pleasure" of learning that I'm really not desensitized to violence, that is, I just watched the indie horror movie, August Underground.

This movie is demented. It's like some snuff film that someone made for their own enjoyment. It's all from the point of view of the cameraman, who's videotaping his buddy torture, humiliate and kill several different victims.

It's like watching someones home movies, but instad of a wedding, or a birthday party it's a couple of guys sawing up a dead body and rubbing feces in a wound on a girls tit where her nipple once was.

It's very realistic, and disturbing. I felt unclean after watching it. It's that fucked up. What's really fucked up, though, is that I really like the movie.

Hmm, never heard of it, when did it come out? I thought Guinea Pig was the sickest Horror, heh at least Charlie Sheen did, never saw GP though I'm not sure if I want to.

Sounds sorta like a typical roughie from the 70s.

I'm sure I won't find August Underground at my local Blockbuster.

You gotta be kidding me.

There's no fucking way Im watching this. Ever.

Well, its not on Kazaa. Where did you find it?

Wow, I thought I was pretty desensitized to violence myself, but this movie sounds waaaay over the top. Part of me wants to see it just to test my limits, and another part wants to run away. I'm torn- I guess I'll have to do some research on this one. Did you rent this movie somewhere or buy it?

*EDIT*- it isn't listed at the IMBD, and just about everything is listed there...weird.

I agree with DiffusionX, that kind of shit is just sick. I rented Traces of Death back in middle school and I thought it was pretty fucked up. It was kind of interesting to see what real death was like, but I sure as hell didn't want to watch it again when it was over.

As for movies like Guinea Pig, Man Behind the Sun (extremely fucked up movie) and all the real death websites like shownomercy and ogrish, I think it's fucked that people flock to those sites daily to check for new pictures of death and shit. Has anyone seen that video floating around online with the soldier getting his throat cut now THAT is messed up.

Heh, yeah, funny how you seem to know where all the good websites and movies are, though. ;)

Nothing beats Rotten.com as THE most fucked up site ever. Death pics are bad but nothing beats a guy eating an aborted fetus...Nothing

Here's a review I found. Don't read if easily offended.

Ha, even the reviews require content advisories.

Wow, that review made me even more hesitant to watch this movie. I think I'll give it a pass.

It's hard NOT to hear about them in all the years I have been getting online, sort of the way it seems like everyone has heard of goatse or tubgirl or rotten

As for the movies, well I am a horror fan and had to give Man Behind the Sun a watch just to see if it was even all that bad which it was. Of course I saw it in 7th or 8th grade so maybe I would think it is tame now.

I got the video tape from the director, along with a few dozen other people. I think what I like most about the movie, is that it did bother me. I've seen countless sick ass movies and nothing has phased me, even Traces Of Death.

The fact that August Underground had any affect on me, even though I knew before hand what to expect, and that it's just a make believe movie, impressed me the most.

You're friends with the director?!?

Damn, Thats some disturbing shit. I dont know, I might try to find and watch it, but I dont have a real wish to do soo.
