I watched this film on the grounds that it had a reputation of being the sickest ever made. And it is certainly the most extreme film I've seen. But that doesn't make it entertaining. The effects are top notch and it does what it sets out to do but my god is it boring. The people on here who say they've watched it numerous times must be geeks. There is no reason to watch this more than once unless you are trying to prove a point because it is just the most boring pile of shite I have ever seen. It's basically a 15 year old horror enthusiasts wet dream. I think that the director has great potential and I am looking forward to 'The Redsin Tower' because it looks like it has entertainment value. Mordum is basically a fake snuff movie and its attempts to make it seem real are its major downfall. A lot of it is just shaky camera and shouting and when it gets to the gore and violence it just seems like it's trying too hard. Some may call it art, but they're idiots! It's just a really boring pointless film with really good special effects. I'm not saying don't watch it (because curiosity gets the better of all of us and I watched it because of reviews and comments that I read on this site) I'm just saying: don't expect too much and don't believe the hype. In my opinion a good movie should keep you gripped and a sick movie should disturb you. I was so bored watching this that it didn't disturb me. If you're a gore hound, watch it. If you're curious, watch it, but be honest with yourself afterwards and I'm sure you'll agree that it's crap.
