August Underground Penance Movie Review

                                                          August Underground Penance 





August Underground Penance is the third and final installment in the August Underground trilogy Like all of the other movies it tells the story of two serial killers. Who go around murdering people, going to parties, concerts and just walking around. It basically captures their everyday life as a sicko and is filmed as if it was a serial killers home video collection. It's basically very similar to all of the other August Underground movies, except this one takes on a much darker tone.

The movie is almost depressing and chronicles the fall of these two serial killers. Fred's character is a maniac but seems to be frustrated and really aggressive in this movie. Crusty on the other hand isn't doing so well and is really upset with her life and all of the things she has chosen to do. She realizes that she doesn't really want to go around murdering people and gets really depressed. The tone is darker and sadder then the other two. But I think this is one of the stronger in the series. The fist is the best, the second isn't very good and the third is almost as good as the first.

The filmmaking is well done, even though it is just one with a home video camera it looks decent and the special effects are amazing. The acting is great and I had not problem with any of the actors they were all great. This film we really see their personalities and what they are really thinking inside. This makes the characters more dynamic and as if they have souls even with all of the disturbing bizarre things they do.

This one is very disturbing, it's not as extreme as mordum but it does have it's moments. The home invasion scene is rough and there are other scenes of killings that are hard to watch. I really liked this one although some of the scenes got a little boring and lasted to long. The characters all really break down in the movie and thats what makes it interesting to watch.

Overall I would recommend this movie it's one of the better of the series and was really sad and well done. I would not recommend this to people who are just into mainstream horror, you have to like dark underground stuff to enjoy this and I would also watch the rest of the series before watching this fantastic conclusion to the August Underground series I would give this a solid 8/10.
