The AU Trilogy Thread

[Splat]

After AU Michael T. Schneider / magGot  from his seminal I Never Left the White Room aka My Crepitus and Cristie Whiles / Crusty join up on the immoral frivolities of rape and slaughter.

Gets most of my love in this trilogy...everyone just goes nuts!

Michael has his own version available at www.maggotfilms.com, the magGot Cut. Love em both! O yeah, Michael has the documentary about the goings on around the production, Grotesque Fantasies available as well...make it easier here http://maggotfilms.com/maggot-store/

How I see the trilogy...

August Underground



AU Mordum



AU Penance



Watched Penance tonight...there is a moment in the later half when they are in the basement where Crusty has the perfect look/sense of madness...like this snap and boom the perfect shot!

One more AU to go to complete August....

Wildcard tonight....watched the magGot Cut of AU Mordum.

It's different, more explicit in ways plus how magGot edited footage. Certain scenes ran longer and felt showed more. This version has no credits and how it starts off felt more like the whole finding a VHS tape and popping it on to take a peek....picture the guys peeking in my window perhaps laughing. There is a segment were Fred looks even more insane that was edited from the original.

magGot Cut in a LOT of ways is like the forth movie in the series as much different to the Toe Tag cut.

Which one is better...that is up to you to decide...for me, different  depraved flavours to be devoured!

A week of August Underground really finishes this month on a high note...well four days anyway!

Grotesque Fantasies is the behind the scenes to the premier of AU Mordum along with some of the filming of the actual movie. Cast and crew talk along with other insanities. You get to see aspects of scenes that were eventually cut along with other tasty morsels. magGot also goes into his larval stage including the opening wounds to Opening The Mind...which is finally getting a release soon....ish.

Re-watched this for the first time in ages. With this edition which is available with the magGot Cut of Mordum think t is different to the early version which I originally watched. Loved it...it's magGot and he puts his heart and soul into everything he does. Very important lesson I learned is you don't need money to create something amazing...a Tribute to Sanity cost NOTHING to make apart from getting actors to locations!

REALLY GOOD!!!

Time to make the boyfriend watch these for the first time, they are actually some of the films out of my small collection that he's interested in seeing the most. I'll probably be watching him half the time just to see if he enjoys it.

Also thinking of giving all three of these a formal review, may share his thoughts as well separately. I'm interested to see how someone who hardly watches movies nonetheless extreme cinema thinks of these films. AU was one of the first extreme horror I found many years ago, sparked a beautiful interest in me that I'm glad I held onto. Who knows, maybe I'll spread that interest

Just ordered from Maggot himself his Cut of Mordum.  Time to freak out the lady haha.  I've had a hard time with theas but I need Mordum in my life such a brutal film.

[Splat]

Awesome! Will be watching all four again soon.

[Hemwick]

I need to get the others but Mordum is the top of my list and especially Maggot's cut.   I'm actually buying it do to your descriptions Splat.  The toetag one is good in my opinion but lacks something that I saw in Maggot's.

I have only seen the 1st one and some of the 2nd but man this trilogy is just wow. When the torture sequences began, i felt sick to my stomach and i’m feeling sick to my stomach typing this. They are just indescribable on so many levels. With only a budget of 2,000 dollars, the special effects were outstanding but the plot could use some work as it was confusing at times
