Visceral Between The Ropes of Madness

   Visceral Between The Ropes of Madness is a nasty movie from Chile. The film depicts a boxer who loses the biggest match in his career. After this loss he becomes insane and begins his decent into darkness in murder. The film is goes in and out of flashbacks of before and after the loss and shows a truly insane depiction of a man down on life. He goes completely mad and begins to kill people in extremely cruel and brutal ways. All while hallucinating about another entity who is telling him to kill. 

   This film is a little hard to follow at times. The movie cuts from flash backs to present time without any warning and it consistently does this. Although it is an interesting way to tell the story it can be a bit confusing, especially in the beginning of the film. The movie has a very surreal aspect and sometimes that can be hard to follow also. The film features great performances especially from the lead who is very good at portraying the madness of this man. The effects and death scenes are pretty grotesque looking especially with the use of ropes in the bondage of the victims. It gives it a very brutal and uncomfortable vibe to the whole movie. The film is pretty mean and brutal and it's already got a decent amount of  attention due to it's cruelty and  extreme nature. There are definitely a ton of scenes in this movie that would be considered extreme and cruel. An example of the cruelty in this movie would be a very memorable scene where the boxer decides to tape up a woman and tie her to a ceiling and very brutally use her as a punching bag. 

There were definitely a few problems with this movie.I didn't exactly buy the whole meaning to why this man begins to kill people. It doesn't exactly make a whole ton of sense. I also thought the way the story was told, although interesting, could be a bit distracting and confusing. The film had a ton of positives though. It's very well shot and the acting and effects are all very good. If your a fan of extreme cinema and want something that is a little over the edge this cruel movie may be for you. 

6/10

Maniac (2012) Review

                              








        Maniac tells the tale of frank, a man who refurbishes manikins, murders people and is psychologically damaged due to his traumatizing childhood. When he murders people he scalps them and puts their hair on his manikins. One day a woman comes to take pictures of his prized possessions and he soon falls in love with her, but he is crazy and that leads to a whole lot of crazy, gory and interesting scenes, which ended up making a fantastic movie.

The Acting in the movie is very good, there are allot of great performances especially from Elijah Wood, he is a fantastic killer. Although most of the movie is shot from a POV angle, he does a great job as a frightening and damaged serial killer. His co-stars are all very good and the acting was overall very good.

The cinematography is phenomenal the use of POV camera angels really work out well and give the film a very disturbing point of view, mostly through the eyes of the killer. Which is very interesting to see since it's done so well. 

The effects are fantastic, there is allot of practical gore and some pretty brutal death scenes. The special effect and prop guys really out did themselves for this movie, especially since the original film from 1980 had such fantastic effects by the legend Tom Savini.

The movie was very original, but had ideas taken from the original. It wasn't a shot by shot remake of the original slasher classic, which was cool to see because I personally think remakes are getting very bland. But this one worked very well. The story was great, the acting was awesome and the effects were very impressive. The POV view in the film gave it a very dark look and it's an overall fantastic horror movie I would give it a 9/10.

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.



Nails Movie Review

                                                                       Nails

            
 
Andrey Iskanov's Nails is a very surreal movie about a man who has horrible memories of his murderous past as an assasin decides to try driving nails into his brain to get rid of these terrible memories. Will this help him or will it just drive him more insame?
 
This is a very surreal and odd movie. There are many scenes where I could not figure out if it was really happening or if it was a hallucination. But I like the low budget feel to the movie. For some reason I really enjoy to see what people can do with a low budget and I think this movie succeeds with the low budget although the plot isn't great. It would make a really good short film but when they expanded it into a feature it made the movie hard to follow and alittle bit boring. Especially ins scenes where there is almost ten minutes of the man eating weird disgusting food, and the scene just goes on and seems to never stop.
 
But there are some great scenes in this movie, allot of really trippy imagrey that makes the movie really cool. The special effects are decent and looked like it was done by someone who was just starting in special effects. But I did enjoy them allot and thought they worked really well in the movie. I thought the acting was decent, I never thought the acting was bad.
 
I think that this movie shows allot of style. Andrey Iskanov shows allot of potential with this movie and I know he is a great director. Especially with his movie philosophy of a knife which is alittle long but really well made. Andrew Iskanov is a really surreal director and his movies look almost as dream sequences. Near the end of nails it looks like a nightmareish dream sequence which was really cool.
 
Overall I liked nails I thought it was a well made movie but I thought it was to long for the story. It was over an hour and it seemed to have the story of something that would last fifteen minutes. I would recommend this movie to people that want to be introduced to Andrey Iskanov movies because this movie really shows his style. Plus  this is his first film and is an outstanding debut. I just wished it had more of a story. I would give it a 6/10 and say it's worth a watch.
 
 
 
 

August Underground MordumMovie Reiview

                                                        August Underground Mordum

              
August Underground Mordum tells a story of a group of serial killers who basically just film their everyday lives. Weither they are just hanging out, murdering people or just doing random things. This movie seems to have no plot at all whatsoever. But thats the whole point of August Underground. All of the movies in the trilogy aren't really plot driven but they are very realistic and thats why this film has gotten so much attention. It actually looked like if you gave a serial killer a camera and told them to film their everyday life.
 
I liked this I thought that the orignial movie was allot better. This movie seemed as if it was all for shock which it definitely was. This is an extremely disturbing movie, there are many shocking scenes in this movie and it's definitely no for everyone. I won't spoil any of the scenes but they are intense and shocking. The special effects in this movie are really good, Fred Vogel and Jerami Cruise really themselves. I think this is an okay movie but it's just one shock after another and the characters are so disgusting it's hard to watch them, especially the character of Maggot I hated him.
 
I loved the first August Undergound movie, it's hands down one of my all time favorite movies and is one of the best serial killer movies of all time. This on the other hand was pure shock value it was one scene after another of disgusting, disturbing scenes all put together into one movie. It almost plays out even plotless as the first one. I believe that is mainly  because it was originally filmed as a music video for a metal band, but they had to much footage so they made it into a feature length film.
 
I really enjoyed Fred Vogels character he was pyscho as always. The character of crust was really annoying and just a character that caused trouble between the serial killer group. Maggot was the worst though he was disgusting and seemed to have no limits to what he could do. Killjoy was a great character especially when he showed the group his shack filled with nasty thing. He seemed so psychotic and crazy.
 
Over all this isn't a great sequal it's an okay movie but isn't as good as the first one. It's in my opinion to much there is no room to get to know the characters. It's just one insane thing after another which isn't horrible but doesn't really work as I hoped it would. I would recommend it to those who have already seen the first film. If  you have not seen the first one I would reccomend that and I would only reccomend this one to people who want to watch the whole trilogy. I would give ti a 5/10.
