NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
hyper-graphia I came across this movie by chance years ago while looking through used dvds at a record shop. I had never heard of it, knew nothing about it, but I was intrigued by a quote from a Rue Morgue Magazine's review that was on the front cover. "It's genuine snuff. I don't recommend you watch this film, I f'in dare you" is what it read. So... unfortunately, I paid $10 for it thinking it'd be awesome. After reading about it on the Internet I was hesitant to watch it, it sat and collected dust for a very long time. I'm a huge horror fan, I love gore, so I finally decided to watch it a couple days ago... OH MY GOD, did it suck! Laughable acting, effects, EVERYTHING. No plot at all, it seemed to go on forever. One creepy scene in the whole thing, it's not worth setting through 20 minutes of it, let alone 77! It's completely embarrassing and I can't for the life of me understand how this movie gained the reputation it did. Please don't waste your time.
Michael Blackpaw I feel that I need to take off my hat to this film, because it is extremely artistic, well executed, and clearly does exactly what the director would have wanted the film to be. However, as a consequence, it is not a wildly entertaining film, and it begins to lose it's iconic aggression as the film develops.There is no real plot that you need to know about with "Mordum", because the film basically hasn't got one. All the film does is it follows the lives of serial killers, who feel the need to carry out violent torture scenes to fulfill their fantasies. Since this is in fact a simulated snuff film, it does make sense that there is no plot at all. But that doesn't forgive the pathetic second half of the film.The first half or so of the film is an assault on the senses, as your ears are filled with the screams of victims, and the disturbing comments from the killers, while your eyes are forced to put up with scenes including self-castration and sexual assault. The film quality is low and grainy, which gives the film an arty touch, while the violent executions are worryingly realistic. I must admit I was quite disturbed by many of the scenes, and will stay with me for a very long time.The main problem with the film though is it's rather laughable second half. Whether it was designed to give the audience a break from the repeated face-beating they received from the first half or not, it turned from a horror into a comedy as it began trying to show that serial killers have a social life. I believe this may have been to suggest that anyone could be a serial killer, but despite that the execution didn't make it seem like that. The final execution that followed the social life element didn't make up for it either, being disappointed when compared to other scenes, which didn't lend it a hand either.While I am not a fan of the torture porn genre, I did find this film very impressive artistically. Unfortunately, the film dropped in standard just after the halfway mark, which ruined the effect the film had on me. If the film had had more of a story, or had been less silly towards the end, I may have enjoyed it enough to want to buy it on DVD from the States. But it hasn't. So I won't...
sldier543 THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS When I say terrible I mean the acting, effects, camera, everything in the movie. It starts off with a guy having sex with his girlfriend then the guy is yelling "OPEN THE F*CKING DOOR OR I WILL BREAK IT DOWN " and it shows that he has a hammer in his hand a few seconds later the girl and guy yell at each other. The guy is saying "YOU'RE A FU**IN WH*RE YOU STUPID B*TCH" then the girl walks away from yelling and screaming she then gets a peace of glass and cuts herself. Later on they break into a house and kill a guy with a hammer. Trust me it's a waste of time a I'm surprised I watched the full thing. There is about 4 rape scenes the first one has a girl being forced to rub another girls vagina. A man is forced to cut off his own penis with scissors it shows everything. A Few seconds later the girl puts it in her mouth then puts it in the other girls vagina. Sorry if it's hard to read my typing. It starts off stupid and ends stupid and it is boring cause there is no plot and no story. You will fall asleep because it is very sh*tty and annoying.I wasted my time on this peace of sh**.
Ellie- Jean Never before have I watched something so disgusting, shocking, perverted and downright wrong. Do not even bother with this film unless you can genuinely handle hardcore gore and seriously messed up themes. This one has it all- Incest, vomiting, castration, necrophilia and most disturbing of all paedophilia. The creators of this film certainly succeeded in creating something vile, something that causes the viewer to cringe (at least I hope everyone responds that way, because if not I am a little concerned)The filming itself looks very realistic and you could be forgiven for thinking you were witnessing an actual snuff film. I found the hand held style a little annoying at times, but necessary to create that realistic effect which adds that extra punch to what is a very twisted 'storyline'.I use the term storyline loosely because this film does not really have one. It's clear the characters are beyond messed up and I felt the acting was quite good. I believed the characters and I felt a deep hatred towards them, especially that of the brother. He genuinely looks insane.The gore in this film was also fantastic and they are really good at what they do. There were several moments when I had to look away. The castration scene was horrid and I do not even possess a penis! The vomiting really got to me as well, especially because I have heard that they were genuinely vomiting in that scene. I could not watch the bathtub scene. If you don't know what I mean, it basically involves one of the main characters, engaging in necrophilia with a very, VERY young girl. I enjoy messed up, but not that messed up. I feel that a personal line was crossed, and I kind of hate these guys for making such a scene. This film is exhausting, and at the end I felt kind of depressed. For that I applaud the film makers, as they did an excellent job of f*cking with my mind.
