bloody baths

Entrails, severed limbs and blood. A whitish puree comes out of the crushed eye, and the nerve is so long that you can make a loop out of it. The rotten female torso next to me has very nice loose flesh. There's a forearm lying in the corner. The aortic hearts are cut out on the table. My girlfriend hid her spine in her bedside table. In the middle lies the corpse of an old woman, which we have been turning into a bloody mess for the third day to pour into a canister. It's almost midnight. When total darkness descends on the city, we will get out of the ground and pierce the throat of the first cashier from a convenience store, or knock out the teeth and cut the skin on the cheeks of some tramp, or just go to a rock concert. And in the morning we'll break into someone's house: we'll cut everyone out, write something philosophical on the walls in blood, and in the dressing room we'll take clothes off hangers and hang the guts of former tenants instead.

In general, this was a description of the entire "August underground" trilogy. I really love the horror genre, but my relationship with pseudo-snuff has never worked out. I don't like it when the purpose of violence is to cause any feelings or emotions other than disgust, and I don't like it when there's no plot and characters to worry about. such films are needed only to make fun of your friends, throwing off their shocking content.

What is the August trilogy trying to be? A satire on the realities of one-story America? By researching the problem of violence in society? A story about the other side of the most civilized country on the planet? No, the August underground is just a cheap provocation that has not opened new horizons, set new standards, raised a new generation of horror makers, or even become a pioneer in any genre. Yes, there is an opinion that all three films are a story about how a couple of scumbags realize all their sins from film to film and repent.; Yes, there is a legend that in the first Underground one of the actors went missing after filming, they say he was killed in the film. But this is all filler in the context of cinema, both technical and meaningful. Garbage. Nothing and about nothing.
