To the people who watch these films


I have a few honest questions:

What makes you want to watch them?

Do you watch them alone or with company?

Do you feel guilty for watching them?

I've only ever seen one and even though you can argue that its not real I still felt ashamed that i chose to watch the movie as my company watched in disgust. I also felt like I shouldnt be watching this movie and I also felt like the cops were gonna bust the door down any minute knowing that I was watching it.

I haven't seen it yet but it just came in the mail. If it's anything like Guinea Pig it's going to be pretty degrading. To answer some of your questions, I watch stuff like this alone and then I will usually show it to friends. As far as liking this kind of stuff, I don't anyone can say they actually like this. It's more of a shock value thing for me. As far as feeling guilt for watching this kind of stuff, I look at it like I look at any other movie. These people are actors, this is not a real snuff film.



I'm just a guy that likes horror flicks.

Ok, having watched it last night I have to say it's a terrible film. I found ToeTag Pictures The Redsin Tower to be a much better and horrifying experience. And that movie wasn't even made to look like The August Underground films.

What makes you want to watch them? I like reality when it comes to violence in films. I want to be disturbed because violence is disturbing. I seriously dislike movies that don't take violence seriously.

Do you watch them alone or with company? Almost all of the times alone

Do you feel guilty for watching them? Yep sometimes. I felt like *beep* when I watch Irreversible, for example. It stayed with me for a whole week and I almost couldn't even work.


With all of this said... This movie is horrible ,Not much better than Murder Set Pieces

I felt guilty for watching this film because I can't believe I wasted time watching something that was so meaningless and done so poorly. I really felt that the directors didn't really care about the film at all, almost like they were forced to do, similar to the results of a D student being forced to do his homework.

I prefer my disturbing films to be well crafted. The impact is more substantial.

I love !
