August Underground

August Underground is a 2001 American exploitation horror film directed by Fred Vogel, who co-wrote the screenplay with Allen Peters. The film stars Vogel as a serial killer named Peter who kidnaps and murders several people while his unnamed accomplice, portrayed by Peters, records the crimes. Presented in an intentionally amateurish found-footage style that mimics a degraded home video, the film was released direct-to-video and has since developed a cult following within extreme horror circles. It was followed by two sequels: "August Underground's Mordum" in 2003 and "August Underground's Penance" in 2007.
