Plot: Two serial killers go on a murdering rampage as one films the outcome from behind a video camera. One of the most realistically portrayed simulated snuff films.

This Film Is Shot As If It Was Footage From A Video Camera In The Style Of A Snuff Movie. The Plot Revolves Around 3 Serial Killers Filming Themselves Killing People. Themes Such As Rape. Child Abuse, Self-Harming, Vomit Drinking and Necrophilia Are Brought Up Regularly. A Truly Sick Film Which I Probably Wouldn't Watch Again.

MCT:July 28, 2008not a typical movie, this is shot as if it's the found footage of a serial killer fucking around with a camcorder. definitely not for everyone and i'm sure it'll piss a lot of people off but i think it's a great horror film.

MCT:July 6, 2008The title and box suggest a subdued Euro horror verite, but this is old fashioned North American handheld homemade horror. For that genre, or just as a realistic spat of serial killing, there are some great scenes but nothing holding this together as a cohesive piece. The biggest problem with this one is focusing on the one killer and not exposing more of the cameraman's nastiness. This is a few steps above what is passed off as serial killer movies today in the mainstream market, and any of those tweens supporting crapstream horror who accidentally watch this won't be able to take it. Course the visuals are astonishingly terrible, leaving one longing for the fine lens of Miike to better film the snuff. Does the movie feel real during some spots? Yes. Does that make me any more impressed with it as an intentional piece of work? No, because it needs to have some more thought and composition behind it, at least in visual terms so that it hangs together. If you can't stand another mediocre PG-13 horror, then watch this mediocre extreme film instead for all the right sins. It's just that I've seen *real* snuff done more artfully than this. That, and considering how much that main actress in the chair got paid, these guys could have broken down and afforded a better camera.

MCT:June 6, 2008"August Underground"...this movie will knock you on your ass! Fucking hardcore stuff. I gave this movie 1 star simply because it filled my stomach with too much nausea and made me too depressed. This is garbage, but it's shocking to the max. Disgusting shocking filth.
Gore. Degradation. Torture. Sexual humiliation. Rape. Vomit drinking, and Necrophilia. This movie certainly pushes the limits beyond any film I have ever seen.(if you can even call this pile of trash a film). But I do have to say, this movie only sets out to shock you. And it did just that!...and a whole lot more. Believe me. This is an uncompromising and in your face raw experience. For a fake snuff film this certainly does indeed feel like a real one.
This is one movie that will quite possibly just ruin your whole day. You've been warned! -

I don't mind style over substance but this has neither and, as a result, is the most boring snuff film I've ever seen, with no merit or meaning. That said, this may be hard to stomach for some and in that case, there are about a dozen other movies you'd probably rather be sick to your stomach over.

Any hack with a camera can go out and film violent scene after violent scene. And thats what Fred Vogel does with August Underground. He has no style whatso ever.

Director Fred Vogel doesn't want viewers to enjoy "August Underground"; he wants them to endure it, leaving a shocking and clever impression
