AUGUST UNGERGROUND'S MORDUM is the follow up to the as yet unreleased underground horror classic AUGUST UNGERGROUND. Lensed in Pittsburgh on digital video, then degraded to look like found footage, Mordum is the story of three sick young serial killers who film their acts of violence and torture. The film is peppered with outstanding makeup effects and grisly set pieces, and the performances from Michael T. Schneider (A Tribute to Sanity), Fred Vogel (the original August Underground), and newcomer Cristie Whiles, are daring and unorthodox. The filmmakers strike an odd but compelling linear narrative, while simultaneously creating a disorienting and chaotic environment within which the three psychos wreak their madness. A fourth sicko played by Killjoy of the band Necrophagia, is introduced near the films climax. Horror realism at its finest, the August Underground series has the potential to become North Americas answer to the popular Japanese Guinea Pig series. Fans of confrontational cinema take notice. Mordum is a harrowing and brutal film that will surprise even the most jaded horror fan. -Art Ettinger, Ultra Violent Magazine.
