August Underground (2001)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA: August Underground 1
Year: 2001

Plot – Spoilers:
August Underground came out a couple years after the Blair Witch Project but smashed the night-vision out of that one as far as American found-footage/home-video films was concerned. There is something so real about the way it’s been shot – anyone who’s ever recorded rubbish with their friends will instantly identify with the conversations the two characters have, the way the edits happen and more. Director Fred Vogel is the guy we see throughout, while co-writer Allen Peters plays the cameraman. The plot is nothing much – two friends travel around murdering and torturing women and men in the sickest ways possible.

Within the first minute of the movie, Fred turns to us and says, “You’re gonna love this.” Truer words haven’t since been spoken in effed-up cinema as we are introduced to the first victim – a naked tied woman with one of her nipples shaved off. The cameraman giggling away at Fred’s antics is like the audience goading him into deeper depravity.

It’s not like the two have their senses blinded to the stench of the rotting bodies, pus, shit and puke. On at least a couple of occasions, the vileness is so foul and overpowering, they uncontrollably vomit, adding to the stink that we can almost smell off our screens. So it’s more like a couple of guys on an insane bender determined to not quit any time soon. There are also some homely shots of dogs and farm-life, just to give us a breather here and there.

Favourite Scenes – Massive Spoilers:
Every torture scene with its long unedited takes is unblinkable, but the scene of the tattoo artist getting revived to the sight of his dead brother with a voiceover by the cameraman is cruel, yet hilarious. As if pleased with himself, Allen says, “I should do stand-up.”

Boring. Just a chore to get through. Its okay at what its trying to do but overall its just mediocre. SFX were cool but not used nearly enough, just filler bullshit. Heard the second one is better so fingers crossed

Movie’s fukin rancid lol in a good way. ngl i enjoyed it.. dogturd cam quality made this shit even better.. dudes tried so hard to be Postal. i rate it 7/10 smegma tits.
Could used more girls and more gore,snuff of them.
But a decent piece of shit overall..
I recommend it for real men, and if ur a spineless libtard sissy faggot soyboy don’t watch it, u fucks don’t live in reality whatsoever anyway so, any further exposure of it will shatter ur delusional gay-ass even more, shattering it more than ur dad or uncle ever did Lmao..
Xoxo, with love!

watching an fucking stupid fat man makes me cringe. Put a fucking skinny guy to make me watch him doing such disturbing things at least.
He calling her fat, while she’s probably 55kg and he must be a fucking fat whale with 200 pounds. Disgusting fatso, if he likes to fucking kill people, probably he should lift their bodies more, to lose some fucking weight

Bro i thought this movie was extremely scary bc people kept saying it’s so gore and shit but bro it’s not that bad?? Not scary at all it’s just that the guys are disturbingly disgusting. The beginning was really good but by the other half of the movie it kinda got boring like they were just torturing people. The scenes at the end with the girls were kinda hot but I thought they wouldn’t end up killing them. Anyways good movie.

This movie (actually the second one) has yet to be dethroned as the most disturbing movie ever made, I don’t care what anyone says. Not my overall favorite disturbing movie, but definitely the KING.

The camerman’s constant shitty laugh and chuckle throughout the entire movie annoyed the living shit out of me. Cant believe production someone anyone watching dailies or simplynjust paying attention an dlistening during the making of this…

Movie sucks. Extremely boring and whenever someone’s getting tortured the guys doing it keep laughing and it’s so motherfucking annoying. Also why’d they just film a rock show and leave all that in there. If you’re looking for just gore theres tons here, but its mostly boring and annoying. Wouldn’t recommned
