Plot – Spoilers:
The final part in the August Underground trilogy has often been described by director Fred Vogel as his favourite of the lot.
Regarding the film itself – not sure if it took three parts for Peter Mountain’s character to emerge, or if it is in Part 3 that we finally get to understand some basic things about him. As a killer he’s driven and fairly focused, but other than this, he’s kind of silly and a boring person. He tries to be funny and impress the camera especially when Crusty’s manning it, but simply isn’t. Killing is the only thing interesting about him and he probably knows this. All his accomplices through the three films are verbally smarter and often outshine him. And yet, he’s the one who’s been consistent and survives, because of his need to kill and make it through. His sexuality emerges more here. In August Underground Mordum, Crusty calls him a faggot and here in Penance, he often has a problem getting hard while directly interacting with a human. In fact, the only time he cums is when he masturbates to a dying trussed up woman.
Crusty is more attractive in Penance and conscious of Peter’s frustrations – mostly patient with him, she is even a little encouraging, goading him to get in shape. But when he can’t get it up often enough, she finds a man who can and who will fuck her dirty and anally. The stress of their relationship and the strain of the killing sprees eventually appears to catch up, as Crusty finally cracks.
Animals are more involved in this movie though no actual killings are shown except for a writhing rat being fed to an alligator. Other animal scenes include carving out the leg of a dead deer and a gratifying scene of a growling lion being fed by hand.
There is the usual August Underground platter of gore though not as much as in Mordum. Some interesting scenes include sawing off the arm of a dead woman who only has her torso left, and a pretty well effected scene of a fetus being carved out of a dead pregnant woman (Fred’s irl wife, Shelby Vogel)
Favourite Scenes:
1. The family murder:
Peter struggles to rape the mother and is frustrated by his inability to get it up while Crusty appears to be cleansing herself of some childhood Christmasy trauma. Excited by the presents and oblivious to his frustrations, she appears to cum strangling the daughter, and looks droopy and blissful by the end of it.
2. The interaction with the homeless guy is strangely entertaining despite the lack of gore or a murder. Maybe because it comes after some boring introductory scenes that you kind of want to just end to get the action going.
Ending was most retarded shit i ever fukin seen, pretty much whole movie is that..
Bitch u can’t choke urself to death using ur own hands, dumb bitch..
Even ur autistic retarded gay-ass faggot cousin knows that, smh..
Lazy-ass with no creativity, that’s how u end ur own trilogy? with even MORE braindead and abrupt ending??
Nice job faggotz.. fukin hell lol.
This…is romance,this is goals for sure.minus the kid of course never anyone under age or over 60 with exception.yk..but..im so overjoyed.the love shown here
I actually liked this. It tells an interesting perspective on Peter and Crusty’s story. I ended up feeling bad for the both of them since they are both struggling with their own issues and mental health. This and the first movie are my overall favorites.
Bored as fuck watching this
I’m not sure if these characters are more annoying or boring. Oh well onto the next film.
lowkey crusty fine asf if she took a shower id eat her pussy tbh
nigger what the fuck is this
this is what 90% of American people are like, doopy, drugged up, uneducated, useless, brainless, you can see them in all the states, these useless bums, invaded a beautiful country and turned it into a cesspool of trash and WHORES of all Colours, and only these kind of people are all worthless, not worth saving, best to be put out of there existence good.
There are so many white Gutter Trash everywhere for far too long. all white trashy people killing each other, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Mexicans, the WOPS, the Irish, and all other EU countries within America, are all killing each other, and making the place even more of a cesspool of garbage. this is all clearly shown here. and one only has to visit this land, to know how much they have ruined it all. and 99% of the people are all so uneducated, and are all Minors. its why they all get taken for a rid straight to JAIL. and the women are all WHORES no matter the Colour, they spread their legs open for anyone and anything. like most countries, its what they grandmothers and godmothers and mothers have taught them all, how to use a man in everyway.
This all a true mentality of the white scummy trashy people.
1 and I enjoyed, this ones boring to me. Disembowelment looked good tho, impressive gore
weirdly fascinated by these movies….am I deranged? Probably just the fuckin, crystal meth…I,m fine!!
LOL THEY’RE DEAD
totally sick
For me, this is absolutely the best of the trilogy. If you’re in it for pure yuck, the first would probably be for you. The quality of absolutely every aspect of this film, cinematography and story wise was pretty phenomenal. The death and gore in this one while not being as prevalent throughout the film is absolutely brutal and helps to expand on the story and the issues between these two characters. The deaths in this one go so far beyond the type of evil exhibited in the first films. The story and emotion driven scenes in this really took me by surprise. The whole last 20 or so minutes floored me.
Gawd Crusty is so hot. I love August Underground movies so much. I recently got into these types of movies. I’ve watced “A Serbian film”, “120 days of sodom”, “Martyrs” and most of the Guinea Pig movies. I had high hopes bc all the reviews on google and reddit etc said that these r disturbing n stuff but honestly they were all really boring. Oh but all the August Underground movies on the other hand, piece of art. Shame that most people can’t appreciate this stuff.
On a side note. can anyone recommend any movies similar to this that are worth watching?
Thank u!
I’m over here thinking this is the most wholesome one and then I got to the hour mark..
It’s a hard choice between this and Maggot’s cut but this has to be my favorite
I think I would say this one is the superior one in AU trilogy. Way more focused on Peter and Crusty just bonding as a couple then it is focusing on gore and violence. Also I cannot help but find Christie Whiles incredibly cute in this one.
Fred, you genius.
boredom squared
what up this is so hot i came like six times watching
What an artsy end to the worst gore trilogy in modern existence… Vogel truly deserves that Oscar! Lmfao!
Only thing that bothered me was the deer. That’s not how u fucking process a deer!…
The movie was ok. The first one was the best. But mordum was the most fuck’d up. All in all its a great triology.
despite its everything, i think this is the most narratively interesting august underground movie. whoever wrote the og caption is totally right, this is a really weird but effective character study of peter. he’s super aware of this being the most interesting part of him. his inability to perform with the mom of the family and like, obviously hateful treatment of women in this film reads very heavily to me as your typical ‘maniac with mommy issues’ antihero for movies like this. ESPECIALLY in like your last twenty minutes here with the girl he jacks off to then like, sorta nurses? crusty is so wild and interesting to me too. i can’t believe i’m out here getting weirdly attached but it’s been a LONG RUN watching all these. her frustration towards the second half is really relatable, honestly? her breaking down after strangling the girl at the end? i kinda feel for her. wtf. always ALWAYS gonna be a wonder to me that crusty’s played by fred vogel’s actual wife. straight people are really a trip. i think, watching these, i still don’t really LIKE them as movies. i’m not supposed to, though. they definitely have a lot of artistic merit as experiments in the Nasty on Purpose torture porn genre and while i won’t be revisiting these i think they’re kind of important. sort of a milestone in “c’mon then, if you’re not a chicken, put this on.” thanks as always, eum! ur warping my young mind one movie… Read more »
Fucking sick just like all of its kind! The August series of movies is not for the faint heart! I will although say that A Siberian Film takes the cake for the most disturbed and mind fucked movie I have watched!
For some reason, ketchup really grosses me out. I just think it’s disgusting. It’s pretty weird that the only scene I had to close my eyes at, in the whole trilogy was when she said, she was going to put her face in it the ketchup.
Worst of the series but overall not bad. Compared to the first two less about the murders and more about the character’s issues.
Best of the series for sure!
