PWATATO

First off, this film isn't going to appeal to everyone. It features graphic violence (most of it unseen) and a quite mundane plot that plods along. However, if you are a fan of old 70's and 80's exploitation films then you are in for a real treat. The story follows a man, who has been sent a video of his recently deceased daughter in a porn film. She's smacked off her t*ts and obviously isn't a willing participant. He takes it upon himself to track down all copies of said film, and anyone involved in it's making...And destroy them! This is gritty stuff. With little to no soundtrack, there is almost a documentary feel to it. It really makes you ask the question: What would you do? Although the plot isn't at all similar, it has the same kind of realism to films like the underrated 70's classic 'death weekend' and 'The Last House on the Left'. There is real drama here and characters that you truly root for. I hope this little gem doesn't slip under the radar because there are a lot of film fans (myself included) that have been waiting for this type of film to come along since the early 80's!

I watched this film on the grounds that it had a reputation of being the sickest ever made. And it is certainly the most extreme film I've seen. But that doesn't make it entertaining. The effects are top notch and it does what it sets out to do but my god is it boring. The people on here who say they've watched it numerous times must be geeks. There is no reason to watch this more than once unless you are trying to prove a point because it is just the most boring pile of shite I have ever seen. It's basically a 15 year old horror enthusiasts wet dream. I think that the director has great potential and I am looking forward to 'The Redsin Tower' because it looks like it has entertainment value. Mordum is basically a fake snuff movie and its attempts to make it seem real are its major downfall. A lot of it is just shaky camera and shouting and when it gets to the gore and violence it just seems like it's trying too hard. Some may call it art, but they're idiots! It's just a really boring pointless film with really good special effects. I'm not saying don't watch it (because curiosity gets the better of all of us and I watched it because of reviews and comments that I read on this site) I'm just saying: don't expect too much and don't believe the hype. In my opinion a good movie should keep you gripped and a sick movie should disturb you. I was so bored watching this that it didn't disturb me. If you're a gore hound, watch it. If you're curious, watch it, but be honest with yourself afterwards and I'm sure you'll agree that it's crap.
