Plot – Spoilers:
In this second part to the August Underground series, Peter (Fred Vogel) is joined by his girlfriend Crusty and her brother Maggot to amp up the depravity.
August Underground’s Mordum apparently started off as a music video for the band Necrophagia (Vocalist Killjoy plays the serial killer whom the trio hang out with towards the end of the film). At that point, it was Maggot (Michael Todd Schneider) in charge of putting together footage. What he had was later edited and more footage shot and added to become what we now know as August Underground Mordum. A different version called the Maggot Cut exists.
The movie kicks off with a similar trope to the first part – the camera following someone climbing up the stairs – and your heart sinks a little because Part 1 got your expectations soaring and you wonder if it’s just more of the same. As it turns out, the cameraman has just walked in on his girlfriend fucking her brother. A squabble ensues between the two and she finally assuages him by cutting her belly. What a wonderful way to get your spirits back up ….
It gets even better and a little ironic when they travel to a junkie friend’s place, butcher the comatose guys there and cough and sputter about how disgusting the junkies are, to live in the filth and puke that they do. And their biggest concern while dismembering the bodies is to not catch AIDS.
Peter and Maggot share an uneasy relationship because of the incest thing with Crusty. For the most part, Maggot is submissive to Peter and appears to be deranged and someone who truly lives in his own world. It is therefore not surprising that Maggot often is at the centre of the worst scenes in the film. Some of the depravity on show here includes:
Forcing a half-dead guy to chop his own dick following which Crusty sucks on it for a while before rubbing it on his girlfriend’s pussy.
Crusty puking on the faces of two girls while Peter jerks off.
Gutting a woman and Maggot later fucking the gash with the innards spilling out.
Maggot eating maggots from the rotting corpse of a decapitated child.
Maggot violating the corpse of a young girl while Crusty strokes the girl’s cheeks and utters the chilling words, “You’re not gonna have to worry about growing up now sweetie.”
Mordum
More dumb indeed.
Diverse and inclusive though.
Still 2 annoying fuckwits………but now they have a gal pal that’s equally as fucking retarded.
Giiirl power!!!!!
lol
Instead of chopping dicks off they should have been chopping tongues off. It would have made this turd trilogy a fucking masterpiece without the stream bullshit spewing from their word holes nonstop!
7/10 with sound off.
3/10 otherwise.
This film has psychopathy with a little comedy in the midst of tragic situations between brothers, simply unbelievable LMAO
This movie was like so silly they were such silly little friends and then it all got like
Sad😢 recommended tbh RAHHH
I find it disturbing how nobody in the comments is disturbed by the fact that one scene features a dead child being raped in the butt for… A really long time. The guy raping the kid is acting like he’s a virgin who just put his dick inside an 19 year old Ana de Armas. I know it’s supposed to be just “shock value” but how else am I supposed to feel about the people who made this and the people who like it?
Go through any comment section on this site and I think you’ll find 95% of these guys are highly closeted pedos anyway.
snuffaluffagus
this was unnecessarily hilarious
I know. Underground horror filmmakers are all talentless fucking morons.
first one is better I hate fat people get skinny people plz
9/10 bc the camera work could ov been better at some points but still currently my favorite movie
bmi? i want to have sex
Hi everyone, new guy is here… yes yes yes new guy for slaghter and all that shit… but i can say i appreciate emotions, in first movie the weren’t so high, but in this it was really beautiful. any simmilar movies to reccomend? greetings from Easterrn europe 😀
your first fuck might of been akward and shit. but it was stilll your first fuck. this movie was a first fuck for many….
I enjoyed the first August Underground Movie, but this one was inferior in every way.
Acting: terrible. I really liked the chemistry between Peter and the cameraman in the first film. The banter between the two was what made it feel somewhat authentic (which is probably the main goal of this style of filmmaking). In this film, they just scream at each other and don’t really exude any personality. Maggot and Crusty really drag the film down and should not have been included.
Camerawork: Awful. Camerawork in this genre is supposed to look amateurish/unprofessional in order to contribute to the overall “found footage” aesthetic, and the first film did this well. However, Mordum misunderstands the difference between “unprofessional” and “unwatchable.” The camera shakes so much as to be dizzying and is so unfocused as to preclude any opportunity for the film to redeem itself with decent visuals.
Unfortunately, however, the visuals in this film are just as bad as its other aspects. The effects utilized during the torture scenese (i.e. the primary purpose of this sort of film) are mediocre at best (the penectomy scene was hopelessly unrealistic) and the choreography (such as when Peter is clubbing the junky with a hammer) is laughable at times.
Overall, I would classify this as a major disappointment. 2/5 stars
This is pretty much the same as the fusrt part but with more characters on the spotligth. Of course they are annoying but the movie relies on being gross and dissgusting. Somehow reminds me of the time a friend introduced me to grindcore metal, this movie would fit a music video very well.
this movie got me fucked up for days bro
Anyone bitching about this movie is clearly failing to appreciate the fact that this movie has HANDS DOWN the best gore effects of any movie ever made, completely blows out the entire history of multi-bajillion dollar Hollywood’s attempts.
You’re an idiot if you actually think that.
Nothing unexpected everything is disgusting like the director intended didn’t quite understand the point of this movie.. everything is way too personal and up close most of the torture scenes are confusing. I didn’t really understand what’s most of torture, rape, necrophilia they we’re all mishmashed like almost stitched together completely desensitized me because of the confusion. No plot… these people had fun making this movie, that’s kinda disturbing
That stupid cunt ruined the whole movie,with her annoying screaming.Should’ve killed her off.
Does anybody think the same??
Definitely a Classic
masterpiece
If you have not seen “Maggots Cut” of this movie, you have not lived. I’ve had people tap out. Hard as fuck to find.. But I ended up finding it somewhere.
either link it or fuck off,don’t tempt me like this silly ???? -_-
Yeah, I have zero idea where I found it. It was so many years ago, which is why I have like 3 copies of it on usb drives. All I can offer is to maybe check torrent sites.
Alternately, if admin are interested I am sure I can get it to them.
well,i didn’t find “maggots cut”,but i did find how to heal wounds using maggots….????
Oh yes. People have been doing that for a very long time.
Side note to Admin – I’ll put my email on this msg in case anyone wants to take me up on that.
Thanks. We already have it. Not sure how we forgot about adding it or even updating the description about its availability. Sometimes we can be like that 🙂
Will post in a week.
It’s on the site now
man this snuff movie is the real deal this movie should be remaked in better quality for the video picture. Seriously Developers make A Remake i Beg you! 🙂
the times when propably the HD camera did not exist XD the resolution is so shitty it makes it so damn lame XD the movie is so cool for hided killers like me but the quality is Fucking driving me insane 🙁 arrrgghhhh!!!!!
instead of getting mad at her for fucking her brother he should have asked if he could join in.
True ????????
Fucking beautiful film and what horror should be. Beautifully done.
What a piece of art.Never gets old. Sa traiești o mie de ani Fred Vogel
pa bune , no cap!!!!
this looks so real its scary like….
Ah, I just watched “House of a Thousand Morons”
Another nice Vogel production! Cheers!
this shit made me puke but i enjoyed the movie tho, seemed like a pretty convincing snuff film <3
its only a tier4 of 8 tiers of fucked up category. half way down the iceberg if u know what i mean.
This movie is sometimes a guilty pleasure if only because the graphic gore and shock value is much higher than the first film, but it is also objectively worse in every other aspect.
Maggot and Crusty were the most annoying and unnecessary characters in the whole movie. I find it very difficult to believe that Peter would be the type of character to even want a girlfriend, especially given the first movie and his “dude-bro” frat boy persona. I found Maggot to be the dumbest character in the whole thing because his main purpose is to rape anything that has a hole in it. Honestly, Maggot is so stupid and horny he probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a pussy and a hole in the ground.
They completely destroyed the believability of this because everyone was acting like a ridiculous caricature of cartoonish personalities, basically what children would think of if they were asked “how bad guys act.” This is especially evident in the scene where the other serial killer that the trio hung out with earlier kidnapped a woman and said, “I’m gonna keep you to myself. You’re all mine!!” I understand that these movies are meant to be ridiculous, but this just took the ridiculousness too far in an unintentionally comical way, but to be honest it was trying so hard to be super edgy that even that was pure cringe.
Also, editing that last comment I made: when Crusty is puking on the two women and sexually assaulting them, they aren’t even tied up or restrained in any way. What the hell is stopping them from attacking back and escaping??
I think the idea of having these movies filmed on a cam made it have that “disturbing” feel, but also a little hard to follow. Some parts were predictable, dragged on and a little over the top. The scene with the girls and crusty vomiting on them I found boring and skipped through. Maggot was definitely the fav of the film, crusty and her boyfriend were super annoying. All in all wouldn’t watch again, would maybe recommend to people who can stomach this genre, will broadcast on Christmas morning while family opens presents. Xoxo ?
time to broadcast this mess enjoy sine eggnog merry Christmas
these are weird fucking movies.
they’re so frustrating? i find them really boring because there’s just this knowledge going into the august underground movies that they’re made to be like, super fucked up on purpose. and that’s achieved! i’m appropriately disgusted by the scene where crusty’s sucking on the disembodied dick. like that’s gnarly! i’m gonna sit through these because i’m genuinely just curious about them but after a certain point, it feels like ‘fucked up on purpose’ can only get movies so far.
there’s an audience for these kinds of things and fred vogel’s obviously found his! i love fucked up on purpose shit but idk man. maybe add other story elements here and there. the effects are fantastic, and the vibe is appropriately snuffy. people who like torture porn will love it!
maybe introduce a wide shot like, once or twice, but found footage yadda yadda this lady’s gettin’ her innards fucked so i better zone back in
utter boredom
you cant see anything
and this is the best of the 3?
u r joking
0 out of 100
GREAT FILM FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!! 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH
HELL YEAH!!!! <=3
I’d have to agree. In Fact, I’ve Taken Your Advice Or Recommendation & this coming Friday Night is Movie Night at my local Baptist church / daycare. Movie begins @ 9am to make sure all the kids have been dropped off with us & that the pastor has had his black coffee & 4 5inch lines of Columbian nose flake. Then it’s on. Great suggestion.
Underground horror movie depicts a child being raped in pretty much full-blown detail. Nobody cares.
Netflix release a movie about girls who like to dance and everyone calls them pedos. The internet is RETARDED.
well one is a mainstream service that is widely advertised to a LOT of people, and I mean this isn’t as broadcasted obviously, so whos gonna call this out, im sure none of them even know this type of movies exist.
well, that movie was seen as sexualizing underage girls, thats why everyone who watches it is considered a pedo.
who gives a flying fuck
People who don’t like pedophiles.
If you bothered to actually watch the movie, that’s EXACTLY what it’s about. It’s a cautionary tale about letting your young girls run amok. They just delivered the message in an edgy, hard-to-ignore, in-your-face way that people lost their empty-headed fucking minds over. These are the same people who will be protesting at beaches and public pools because there are kids wearing bathing suits. Fucking creeps…
no offence but are you concussed?
How about answering the original point instead of going straight for the insults?
honestly not a bad movie i guess, but I really don’t like movies that are shocking just to be shocking (and this is definitely one of those). personally I think part of the horror is simply seeing a build up and psychological reason that justifies the behavior in the characters head.
if you want a gorey horrifying movie I would recommend “Aftermath”. it’s not nearly as time consuming, way more thought provoking, and just a better movie in every way
Aftermath is boring as hell… and not nearly as fucked up… it’s just a dude fucking corpses…
aftermath sucks ass, so unrealistic.. at least this was somewhat better. Id say for you to try Snuff 102, it’s got similar attributes to this one, but more gore and torture women which seems real at certain aspects.
Now this one is my most favorite out of the 3. I love the brother in this one and he was just wild and crazy and wicked . I love the whole movie but I definitely like to watch it more just to see maggot. He is hot !!!!!
I love you
Okay I just finished this hour and fifteen minute shitshow (excuse my French) and I have honestly never watched something so objectively bad. I, personally, do not partake in such activities as “anally raping the corpse of a young girl”, or “[f]orcing a half-dead guy to chop his own dick”, and even “puking on the faces of two girls while Peter [an accomplice] jerks off”. Honestly, there are almost 0 redeeming qualities of this movie however my colleague and I (who have extensive backgrounds in film history and analysis) were able to agree on one such quality which was the succinct yet subtle character development seen especially in the character profile of Maggot who goes from, “eating maggots from the rotting corpse of a decapitated child,” to (as mentioned prior) “anally raping the corpse of a young girl”. Although there are very few themes I can think of, one does call out to me – beckoning to be foretold to the other members of this site. And this theme is of desperation. This theme is not called, but caterwauled out as almost a self-confliction in its own existence. I would like to now bring forth an example from George Orwell’s 1984 in which Winston Smith (the protagonist) – a man who’s perception of his own image is blurred by the very universe that created it – shows his complete and utter absolute despair in finding such romance. In one particular scene, Winston finds himself about to partake in an act… Read more »
My guy the point of the movie is for subjected for the people who like that shit if u don’t like this genre then don’t blame it on the movie. It doesn’t want a good plot it just wants to be as disturbing as possible XD
These filmmakers are rebels in the sense that they had the “courage?” to create such a piece and basically state: “Humans possess the faculties to delve into evil and still come out sane and moral.”
In the first August Underground, the director is shown to be enough of a likable person to obtain the confidence of a granny in participating in a questionable activity with him.
Film is a powerful medium, and has the capacity to administer big change and communicate serious ideas/messages. This movie flirts very dangerously (and explicitly!) with the boundaries (eg legality) and shows very nicely the distance that this wonderful medium can conquer.
Unfortunately, I disagree with the creators point of view in believing in that humans are responsible and able to exercise restraint. I believe that the average viewer of this movie is 2 IQ African Hill Goat. Truly. And therefore, by creating this piece of work, the artist is in fact doing more harm than good. Hopefully the average viewer of this movie doesn’t see red (like a bull) and form their first thought simultaneously.
exactly, i found it hot
Dude your comments are way too fucking long and boring as fuck
“Pardon my French” This movie has 600+ F words according to IMDB. Anyone who sat through this whole movie doesn’t care about language. I’ve seen bits and pieces of this movie, I can’t bare seeing it all.
Extremely boring,what a shitload of crap !!
Couldn’t agree with you more, I was elated when it ended because I just wanted to get this garbage over with
Yeah, I watched this shit like 5 years ago and found it completely worthless… Tried again and still feeling the same
It was ok. Not really all that shocking. I’m desensitized as hell though.
Just curious, do you find any movies shocking? I’ve seen like every “fucked up” movie there is and I can’t find anything worse than this
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. It’s not even “Maggot’s Cut”. Has more sick shit than this cut. Hard to find though.
I feel you, I’m desensitized since I was 12 and I can’t find anything that shocks me anymore. And this comes from someone who’s seen gore stuff and such.
that’s cute edgelord.
Lmao are you fucking retarded?
are you sure this is not a genuine snuff film? Way too realistic. So what is wrong with the people who made this thing?
Agreed! I almost thought it was a actual “found footage” movie when i started watching the first part. It looks extremely realistic. Im not sure why someone would make movies like this, but to be fair i kinda like it even though its sickening.
bro chill its just art
Yes the dead child being raped was particularly artistic.
Jackass.
yeah you are totally right dude this Real deal realistic movie should be remaked because this video quality Sucks Donkey Dick!!!!!
i’ve talked to the director of this film. he’s a really lovely guy with an insane talent!
The same guy who thought showing a scene of a dead child being fucked would be entertaining? Yeah he sounds like a real peach!
i uh. i reckon fred vogel would be in prison if this was real but idk fam.
