Session 36 - August Disgust
from Sessions With The Gory Boyz Hosted by Gory Boyz
One of the most disturbing movies ever made. Toe Tag Picture's August Underground is a mock snuff film that if you did not know it was fiction, and say found the dvd without its case, you'd probably call the feds. The special effects lift it up to a level of Professionalism that some say is wasted on a film such as this. I disagree because I feel you gotta start somewhere. In 2005, while traveling to Canada to attend theRue Morgue Festival of Fear in Toronto, director and co-writer Fred Vogel was arrested, pending charges of transporting obscene materials into Canada, when copies of August Underground and its sequel were found by customs officials among the merchandise he had intended to bring to the convention. The charges were eventually dropped, after Vogel had spent roughly ten hours in customs custody, and his films were sent to Ottawa for further observation.
