The August Underground movies have their share of dumb/silly parts, but they're damn masterpieces next to this joke. The DVD synopsis text compares this 'film' with Irreversible... well, it seems Shane Ryan doesn't have one tenth of Gaspar Noe's film-making ability; and I'm sure Paul Schrader is pissed having his name indirectly associated with this.

A.P.S.K.'s use of generic, unconvincing digital filters to 'create the illusion' [ Hahaha ] of damaged video footage goes down as the most pathetic visual effect i have *EVER* seen [ One of a few 'artistic touches' the director attempted... the others consist of a lame radio-friendly soundtrack, and pointless amateur porn footage randomly fading in and out ]. The movie's 'climax' is a lame off-screen fist beating, altered twice by first being slowed down and then being sped up. In other words, the director didn't even have the balls to let the audience experience the victim's death.

If fuzzy POV blow-jobs, boring amateur porn footage and obvious digital video trying to be something else is the future of extreme cinema, then leave me back in the '70s, when this stuff was truly vicious [ Addio Zio Tom, Salo: 120 Days Of Sodom, Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit On Your Grave, etc. ]. A.P.S.K.'s lack of passion, emotion and simple technique is intolerable. This 'movie' doesn't shock or offend - it only inspires embarrassment. I'm never watching anything that has the name Shane Ryan attached to it again.

I notice that MikBPR, or bornfiction, or whatever, has yet to post a reply to your well-written, cogent and deliciously brutal review. Maybe he's intimidated... You know, I took on Richie Madano, which is chronicled in the biopic of my life, Out for Justice, and let me tell you, that guy was intimidating. But, that didn't stop me from putting a corkscrew into his forehead. It's like, you're me, Richie is MikBPR, and your review is the corkscrew.

'Realistic'? Are you telling me that laughably bad digital filter *CONVINCED* you? Seeing the guy piss because his camcorder is aimed at the bathroom [ Oh God ] must've really done it for you, then. Damn, you're easy to please. For your information: I'm currently honing my own take on film-making, and you can bet your vulva my work will outshine Shane Ryan's embarrassing output [ Not that it would be a challenge ]. Count on it.

"i've never seen such a realsitic portrayal of something like this"

Compared to what? Devil's Experiment? Flower Of Flesh And Blood? The August Underground series? Last House On Dead End Street? Captain Kangaroo? I suggest you get educated. You obviously have no resources for an argument.
