It really is a very amateurish film which is unfortunate because I felt that August Underground, despite all it's faults, was quite the opposite. Vogel set out to make a serial killer film that was the antithesis to all the hollywood slashers that make light of serial killers and murder, personally I think he acheived that and made a genuinely shocking and realistic film. Mordum was just OTT rubbish for the sake of it.
Yeah, the way the three characters act so childish and just laugh at what they're doing wouldn't bode well in terms of censorship I imagine, nor would the fact that they get such sexual gratification from it. I thought the way they're seemingly invincible and just get away with everything was quite far fetched, I mean none of their victims even fight back (something Vogel rectified in Penance).
I don't know when I'll get my hands on a copy of Snuff 102 yet but I'll let you know when I do. The scenes you mentioned sound very nasty indeed. How is it filmed? Is it a POV/ faux snuff film like the AU series or does it have a narrative? |
It's similar to the August Underground films, where you get these very lengthy periods of just torture, torture, torture. Nobody actually says a word. The torturer never speaks but he makes these strange animal sounds, all this just makes him seem like more of a monster, which he certainly is. Also his face is never shown, being masked throughout. I can tell you the film has a very weird soundtrack, some of it is just insensitive considering what is going on, and some if it is just downright bizarre. Strangely I did find some if it quite scary at times especially during an attempted escape. Could barely watch because you know what's going to happen.
Unfortunately I can't mention how the film ended because nobody here has seen it but there's going to be a lot to talk about regarding what happens at the end. All I can say was that it was a bit laughable.
By the way going back to Mordum - I wonder how much those actresses were paid to allow themselves to be vomited on. No way I would do anything like that. Yeah the vomiting scene (as brief as it was ) in Snuff 102 caught me off gaurd. It's a little different from Mordum.
