Hell on Tape
29 July 2010
I like to consider myself a pretty screwed up person and I do enjoy movies that disturb most "normal" people but I'm fine with that. I took on a personal challenge to watch the most disturbing movies I could find movies like: Freaks, Salo: 120 days of Sodom, Irreversible, Last House on the Left, Caligula, and others like them. August Underground Mordum is the antithesis for all humanity.

This is a movie about the person next door to you, a co-worker, or even a friend. This is a movie that dives deep into the mind of the types of demented individuals that people like to pretend don't exist. You will witness acts of pure cruelty and sadism, the likes of which even a movie based on the magnum opus of the Marquis de Sade (the man whose name is where the word Sadism comes from) Salo can't even touch.

This is a movie that violates, destroys, and mocks our belief that all people are good. The most disturbing parts of the movie are not in the murders and tortures of the helpless victims (although these are very very realistic) but rather when we see the parts of the normal lives of the murders. They visit concerts, eat fast food, and live lives like we do. This is a movie that forces us to look at people who revel in torture and killing and forces us to acknowledge that they are in fact humans like us.

Not for the faint of heart.
