video review : August Underground

The one thing this fictional snuff film has going for it is that its director, Fred Vogel, is a skilled makeup artist. When a girl is kidnapped, beaten, tortured and killed in a basement, covered in blood and feces with her left nipple sliced off, it looks real.

What the movie needs is a better plot. It’s more a presentation of random scenes, which makes sense; it’s supposed to be amateur video shot by psychos; but offers nothing even perverted butt-sniffers like me would want to watch for an hour.

my rating : 1 of 5
