August Underground's Mordum (2003) + The Maggot Cut

basic info: co-directed and co-written by Fred Vogel, Killjoy (the lead singer of the band named Necrophagia; the production at first was supposed to be a music video), Cristie Whiles, Jerami Cruise and Michael Todd Schneider. a co-existent, although completely separate version of this movie was edited by Schneider and released under his own label.

overall ratings: imdb: 3/10 rotten tomatoes: 42% letterboxd: 2.1/5

plot summary: in this one, we're granted some new faces. that's because Peter is now joined by his sadomasochistic girlfriend Crusty and her oblivious, partially unconscious of his surroundings, brother -Maggot. their exceptionally thriving teamwork starts off quite hardcore, as it begins with Peter walking in on Crusty and her sibling performing a sexual act, then the couple (the non-incest one) arouses each other by self-harm, and ultimately they all break into a crack house. the subsequent events circle around the trio toying with their victims or each other in a disgusting variety of truly unbearable and nasty ways. the aforementioned include: Maggot penetrating intestines freely hanging off a woman previously gutted alive or him eating (unsurprisingly) maggots out of a rotting corpse of a child, as well as Crusty cheerfully vomiting on faces of the captives or generally put necrophilia.

my thoughts: one could say this is the best a roughly 300$ budget and a sick artistic vision for such a disgraceful contribution to the cinematic universe could give. i wouldn't agree with them, but would definitely place it on the very top within the three movies, when it comes to my personal experiences with the series as whole. what i mentioned in the entry prior to this one is that in the first part of the trilogy the protagonists lacked depth, which could make one's perception of the story more complex. in mordum, we're given an insight into the uneasiness of the relationship between Peter and his girlfriend, along with the seemingly submissive position Maggot is put in, in comparison with his sister's partner. our guy is also made the centre of the least pleasant (or just plainly horrible) scenes in the movie, what pictures a vague, yet tense hierarchy that exists within the trio. (regarding "The Maggot Cut"; that version basically includes more scenes featuring Schneider's character). that's a nice addition to a motion picture documenting uncivilized acts of gory torture and violence. in terms of those, they're undeniably well done. not only as a matter of purely scenographic creativity, but also the acting of the victims of the murderous trio successfully leaves one with a sense of uncanniness. their reactions seem strangely on spot, nonetheless fitting the messy filming style. hypnotizing. this little thing has drawn my attention and its something i can't recall accompanying me in case of the original August Underground. wasn't it for the actual character exposition, and therefore an almost psychologically draining impression, mordum wouldn't excel its predecessor in anything in particular.

my rating (on a scale from 1 to 5): 3/5
