I saw something the other day that disturbed me more than anything I have ever witnessed in my life. I was browsing one of my favorite horror related forums when I saw a thread called:
"One of the most horrible disturbing things I've seen in a long time…"
Naturally I had to know what this was all about so I opened the thread. I was not prepared for what awaited me. The thread cautioned.
"The reason I'm posting this is not for entertainment, but because I wish to have discussion and hear people's thoughts on this video I saw today. Due to forum rules, I believe I can't post the link to the actual video here, so you will have to PM me or do some googling. Some of you may have seen it already. I think it also applies to this forum being that this is what August Underground was, except this is the real thing. The way these young people act is very reminiscent of the way the characters acted in the A.U. films.DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO HAVE SOMETHING ETCHED INTO YOUR MIND THAT CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN.
I'm serious though, I'd almost rather NOT have people watch this. However, after seeing the video I felt lightheaded for some time after. I've watched lots of fucked up stuff, but I haven't ran across something that disturbed me and angered me as much as this video. I think it's a good sign for myself that I felt so disturbed by it. I guess there is still some compassion left in me. These killings were made with no purpose except to be amused with killing somebody."
This is by far the worst atrocity I've ever witnessed. It made me sick to my stomach. They had no regard what so ever for life of any kind. These are real monsters and they look like your little brother. The killing spree took place in the Ukraine. Here is some "News" safe info on the case.
In Ukraine, three young men who went on a month-long killing spree have been charged with murdering 21 people. The violent attacks plunged the eastern city of Dnepropetrovsk into a vortex of fear in the summer of 2007. The three, who are now 20 years old, were teenagers at the time they allegedly battered their victims with hammers and pipes.
Here is a news safe story here.

WARNING DO NOT READ ANY FURTHUR IF YOU ARE FAINT OF HEART!!!
HERE IS A TRANSLATION OF THE MURDER VIDEO.
AGAIN DO NOT READ FURTHUR IF YOU ARE SQEAMISH!!!
Translation for the clip[while approaching the victim]"Hold on, hold on….Be neater, fuck!" - probably saying that to watch out for the blood.*Laughing*[After the Blond guy has used the sledge hammer ]"Hold on, hold on, hold on, don't hit him, don't hit him…..Watch him *the rest is muffled*" - Psycho fuck is probably telling him to watch how he is bleeding as he zooms in the camera to his face. - Camera manThe next part has very bad audio and is very muffled by cans and such. I can make out one or two words but not enough to make out a coherent sentence.[After the screwdriver stabbing]"What?…..With what?" - As he responds to the guy who stabs him"What, he's still alive?!?" - The guy stabbing him exclaimsThe response of the camera man I can't make out perfectly because he's speaking very fast and again the quality isn't the best but I believe he says something along the lines of:"He's still moving his arms after I ripped up his intestines"The stabber says something along the lines of "He's having a fucked up day" as he steps on his stomach.[More muffled talk as he proceeds to stab him in the eyes with the screwdriver]"Get over here fast…..Kill him already.""What?" - Stabber"Kill him already."He says something about his hammer which I believe to be "I already put the hammer back," followed by "He's already dead." - Stabber"He's not dead and I already poked out his eyes" - Camera man*Note: There are mainly two of saying the word "dead" in Russian, they're using a term that is phonetically written as "zdoh," which is a way of saying "dead" when talking about animals and things lower life value, such as criminals, if that makes sense*"Get the knife" - Camera man*Proceeds to bludgeon him then interrupts by saying something I can't make out*"More more" - Camera man telling him to keep bludgeoning him to make sure he's dead, and not so much for pleasure any more."Hold on, hold on" - Camera man*They start walking back to the car*More muffled talk from the blond haired piece of shit"Wash your hands" - Camera ManCamera man begins telling him something that I can't make out clearly for some reason but I believe he says "Spray the *name of the chemical*" followed by "I'll hold it," as they started to clean the hammer.*Muffled talk from the guy washing the hammer**More muffled talk from the guy washing his face and walking back from his car*"I stuck the screwdriver in his brain" - Says the camera man*Muffled talk from the guy washing his hands*"I got him in the nose from his eye" - Says the camera man *I'm not exactly sure on this one, but I know he says something along the lines of that."I don't understand, how was he alive? I felt his brain" - Says the camera man"I was holding the screw driver like this *muffled/don't understand*" - Camera manBefore the video ends the blond piece of scum says something like "Alright, let's get a picture"
I WILL NOT POST A LINK TO THIS VIDEO OR RESPOND TO ANY REQUEST TO SEND THIS LINK.
I make horror movies and this goes to show once more that reality is more horrible than anything that can be "reproduced" on a set. Seeing this made me seriously consider why I make the kind of movie that I do. After doing some soul searching I've realized that I've done nothing wrong by making violent films. These people were clearly predisposed to this type of behavior. I can't stand the sight of real blood and gore. I honestly don't know why I'm curious about humanities darkness but I'm not unaffected by it. I consider myself to be a good person who works hard and loves his friends and family. After seeing this complete and otter disrespect for human life I'm sure that my humanity is very much intact. People who I have discussed this case with say the perpetrators also deserve heinous and torturous deaths themselves. In my opinion I say that they should be handed over to the victim's families and let them decide there fate. Again I would caution people to not search this out. It's the holidays and in case you run into the link avoid it.
I'm not exactly sure why but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a dominatix or something. Whats that old saying?? "The show must go on" and it will. I wish him the best and hope he is happy with the choice he has made. We will gladly welcome him back to the project he help give birth to but if he don't want to this monster is going to be made anyway.
