August Underground's Mordum

It is easy to understand what will make you look into this movie, and comments you will find will push you over the edge into watching it, just as I did.

Yes it is likely that it is the sickest film to have ever been put to film, however there is absolutely no entertainment factor to it. When a film introduces extreme gore, it works within the content of a story line that makes you look away and get adrenalin during the violent sequences. This film is a poorly filmed but accurate depiction of nothing but endless, silly gore designed to shock but that fails. It is almost certain that you will come away feeling slightly ashamed that you wanted to watch graphic rape, torture and necrophilic pheadophilia with nothing else to its credit other then it makes it look very real.

To call it shocking is to give it credit it doesn't deserve. The Exorcist was shocking, this has no 'shock' factor, no humorous factor that you get with some gore based films, no dialogue or story of any significance and any film enthusiast should feel offended that this is the most extreme film we have. Pathetic, ridiculous, childish and absolutely not worth looking at.

Wow!!! what can I say ,slicing,stabbing,rape,drugs. The only thing missing from this turd is a storyline. The real name of this movie should have been 8 min. of good special effects in a huge 80 min. waste of time. the internet buzz was way off on this one there is nothing good about this movie, if you bought it like i did sorry,if you are thinking of buying it, think again.

The special effects were violent and semi-bloody the location they used was the most disturbing thing in this movie. 2nd only to the

horrible camera and sound I am all for amateur film makers as long as they are actually making a film (even a bad film) but this was like 8 or 9 people running around drunk with a camera. Special effects can't make up for the lack of storyline and camera close-ups of walls, carpets and cat litter boxes. Next time try a Trypod. and not making a horror movie.

That was honestly one of the worst hours I have ever spent in my life. This is the dullest film I've ever had the misfortune to view.

So I got this because I heard it was a sick, unique film (which I have to say interests me) but this was truly shocking for all the wrong reasons. For me, it failed on every level imaginable.

Firstly, I still don't really know what happened. There was some "alternative" kids laughing while the camera focused on either some bloody scene or basically, nothing. But, I'm guessing this was the "crazy" idea behind it all. Well it failed completely for me. I hated the people in it because they annoyed me by constantly laughing and shouting at nothing. They came across as idiots really. The fact they happened to do nasty things as a hobby seemed so irrelevant because it was done in such a ridiculous manner it was unbelievable. They made a pathetic attempt at being deranged but like I said, it felt more like idiocy and I cared so little about the whole thing that there nasty habits simply began adding to the boredom of it all.

It failed to shock me too. The one thing it was so very desperate to do. Don't get me wrong, I didn't approach this in a sceptical manner, quite the opposite in fact. I wanted to be disgusted, scared or at the very least entertained by it as I do with every horror movie I watch. It was an interesting (but not original) idea having a first person horror and doing it "home-movie" style but obviously not if it's executed so very poorly. The atmosphere this film created meant the sick parts had little or no effect. They did look quite good some of the effects but it crossed over the realistic/stupid line almost immediately.

I have to say I would be very surprised if anyone actually enjoyed this film. I presume this was aimed at the likes of me. People looking for sick and unique horror films but this film preoccupied itself so much by trying to be "sick" that it totally missed the mark. Saying f*** a lot and having some gory torture scenes has to be done very very well to have any affect on people today. Something more than just visual effects are needed because this sort of thing just isn't shocking any more.

I wasted $25.00 this weekend buying Mordum at a horror convention in Ft. Lauderdale because a vendor told me this would be the most violent movie for sale at the event. I took his word, and although it is disturbingly violent, it is a waste of film-making and audience time. The camera work is terrible, and the acting seems like the director invited a few friends to the house to play murder movie. A five year old could make a better movie. I just want to save someone else from making the same mistake I made. I am a great fan of ultra violent cinema, but I am ashamed that this movie is even considered to be a violent movie. It is not even a movie, it is someone's sick idea for playing with a camera he should not even be aloud to touch. Please, find real jobs Toe Tag crew, save the rest of us from wasting our time viewing your ridiculous film.

The film is supposed to be a pretend snuff film, but I don't even know if an actual snuff film could take things this far. There is vomiting, genital mutilation, cannibalism, rape, torture, sex with severed penises, murder of children(something that REALLY REALLY gets under my skin), and lots more. A lot of perverted stuff. I do recommend this to people who just want to see disgusting stuff. This film is filled to the brim with all kinds of nasty, depraved, and terrible things that should really satisfy people who want to be shocked or are obsessed with special effects and makeup. This film has excellent special effects and makeup, not to mention the acting being pretty darn convincing. I give it a half star because it's not my kind of film, if you can call it that. But I can definitely see the appeal. Jerami Cruise and Killjoy are geniuses of the macabre. I congratulate them on a job well done. They have made a film that I found physically nauseating. It's hard to gross me out, but they've done it. I can't recommend the film to people who want to see a good horror film. But I definitely will say that in terms of gore, makeup, and mayhem, it's stunning. Check it out if it sounds like you'd like it.s
