Review of August Underground's Mordum (2003) by Nelson S — 04 Oct 2011
THE sickest film I've yet to see in my 20+ years of movie watching! I'd heard before hand that this was the most shocking of the notorious August Underground trilogy and boy were they right! This second in the series is pretty much more of the same except it's way more gross and disturbing.
A couple of new characters are introduced including a female who proves to be just as maniacal and sexually perverted as her male accomplices. The first film had a slightly more realistic feel to it and more believable characterisation, the performances in this one are a bit more OTT.
It's still a raw and dirty looking film and it does maintain a bit of realism to it all. The make-up and gore effects were excellent and used to great effect keeping things gruesome without overdoing it.
It's a film that's guaranteed to shock with one scene in particular of a dead young girl being raped in a bath tub an example of it's unflinching, taboo-breaking nature. Believe the hype, watch at your own peril.
