Review of August Underground (2001) by Lee ? — 23 Sep 2011
Just as vile and repulsive as you'd expect a film about two sociopathic sexual deviants to be, made even more repugnant due to the fact it's been done psuedo-snuff style shot on hand-held video by one of the sadists featured in the movie who you never actually see.
It's actually a very well made film for what it is and definitely achieved a sense of realism. If you fail to tap into the realistic nature then you'll likely be bored and disappointed as there isn't a great deal of gore or endless scenes of violence to hold the attention of those expecting a killathon type film.
It's sick no doubt, but without resorting to OTT effects. I find very few things these days that shock but this one did more than most. Not a film for everyone, it now seems trendy these days for horror fans to hate on it without actually seeing it.
