Even though ?August Underground? was created to represent a *** killer?s home movie, it does follow a relatively linear structure while taking traditional horror movie conventions and bashing them in your fucking face. The plot of the video follows two close friends, not unlike the guys you went to high school with. Their only divergence from the general public is that they have a crutch for sadism and slaughter. We live in a society with *** killers; we just don?t know them. This video intimately follows the two on their journey for self-gratification, to find their next victim. Footage of ?every day life? is juxtaposed with their infliction of human torment in a way that could not be more unsettling. The choice of depicting these two characters as ?regular? guys makes it all the more disturbing and real. When Vogel?s baby-faced character lashes out on his victims, it?s terrifying. You see these types of people every day. They could be the murderers living next door. You just don?t know it yet.

This is as realistic as it gets.
