Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? This movie delivers on everything it promises. I haven't seen the other films in this series but it doesn't really matter. All of the films in the series bring their own level of depravity or so I am told and have read about. This is the final film of the 3 August Underground films and I still am trying to get some of the images out of my mind although they were exactly what I was hoping for.
Here's the plot, you see 2 serial killers, killing. That's it, there is no compassion and it's brutal and in your face for a full 80 minutes or so of this flick. It was shot on Mini DV and it looks good, apparently better than the previous 2 movies from other reviews I've read. Even though the quality is good it's still done home video style so there are jump cuts from one scene to another for no apparent reason, which is exactly what Fred Vogel wanted you to see. Have you ever had to sit through a friend's vacation clips before? Usually there is no time line at all and this film gives that to you. You go from one death scene to a punk concert, back to gut ripping and more.
I won't go into all of the details but let's say there is a not very merry Xmas scene in here that should disturb you a bit. If you aren't the least bit disturbed by it, then you might want to stick a mirror under your chin and see if you are still breathing.
The reason I gave this movie a full star count is because it is truly what it says it is, a gore flick for splatter and torture fans. You'll laugh at Hostel and Saw after seeing this. It's almost too real but that's what makes it effective and it has some incredible intensity in it. Even when you are not seeing gore, you are seeing the hate and rage between the 2 main characters against society and each other.
You'll feel numb after seeing this but it left me wanting to see it again. Ok, I admit, I'm sick! It's only a movie if you are into pure intensity and disturbing images, don't delay get yours today.
I'll review August Underground #1 as it's in the mail this week, hopefully Mordum soon too. This is my type of flick and did I mention the TONS of extras? The Behind the Bile Documentary runs longer than the movie and it is fun to watch. Also comes with commentary, videos and there are two Easter eggs on the Special Features menu. Look for Blood Spots at the top of the menu screen. When you see them, click on them and you'll get some additional bonus footage that is pretty funny. Perfect for Halloween!
Description of August Underground's Penance
Has someone ever handed you a movie, not telling you one thing about it, only telling you to watch it. What if that tape was the personal home video of two sociopaths on a killing spree? This is their home movie, for their eyes-only. This is August Underground's PENANCE. The third and final film in the AU franchise Directed By Fred Vogel and Starring Cristie "Crusty" Whiles. PENANCE shows the dark decline of the two nameless killers from the previous films as they continue to videotape their madness on their path to destruction.Bestsellers in DVD
