August Underground's Mordum

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.

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.

I love horror films and cult horror, and I spend a great amount of time watching these types of movies. I was skeptical to watch this due to the high number of bad reviews it received here. Curiosity killed the cat. I started watching the movie with an open-mind. I don't have a problem with camera shake, I'm not squeamish about gore and rape. Of course I must agree this movie is sick on pretty much every level. But all together content, quality, directing... none of that bothered me.

What I disliked about this film is that the plot is so weak. In fact there is barely a plot at all and thus as disturbing as it is, it's boring. Believe it or not. I understand the basic idea of the film, sick and twisted people on a killing spree, but a lot of the scenes seemed thrown together in no particular order. In a way it was confusing, but not in a strange artistic David Lynch type of confusing way. The composition of the film, just simply fails to be compelling in any way.

If you are simply looking to be disgusted or disturbed then I can recommend this film. However if you are looking for at least something of a functional film, don't waste your time on this one.

I thought this genre of hand-held shock began and ended with Blair Witch Project.

The movie is mindless, self-indulgent porn-gore, poorly "acted" by people simply reveling in attempting to give a shock-effect, while uttering the F*-word in nearly every line.

Sure, the movie apparently meets its attempted goal, of desecrating all that is sane, normal, and decent in humans. But anyone who would sit down and decide to take every single aspect of humanity, morality and mental-health to its opposite extreme would probably easily write such a plot, from the same logical (illogical?) conclusions. The movie is therefore predictable and boring. If you're like me and can watch gore and know that it's merely special-effects, the movie is a mere annoying waste of time.

If you're into grotesque special-effects of mutilation, sexual perversion, porn and bodily desecration, then you'll probably think this movie is exactly what you wanted. Which... would then make me wonder about your own mental health. Otherwise, it's a boring, simplistic and predictable antithesis of humanity and all that is good.

I'm sure that everyone involved, especially the actors, enjoyed the mindless attempts at shock and the flaunting porn-acts. But for me, it's mere self-revelry.

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.
