Imagine walking down the street and finding an unmarked VHS tape. Curiosity piqued, you take it home and pop it in. What starts off as two men screwing around with a video camera quickly transforms into an ultra-realistic torture sequence where the unidentified psychopaths tape their exploits as they torment and violate a woman tied to a chair. The devastation of your morals continues throughout the entirety of the footage, while subtly revealing the killer's shattered pasts via the interaction with their victims and each other. The most shockingly realistic portrait of a serial killer's existence is, Fred Vogel's AUGUST UNDERGROUND.
Editor's Verdict
"Despite the metadata noting a 'Holiday Release,' the film's extremely graphic horror content and plot have absolutely no connection to traditional Christmas themes, setting, or iconography. All primary classification criteria register as 'None.'"
