Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Illyngophobia The year is 1993. Fifteen years ago, the world was introduced to the shock mondo of the late 1970s; Faces of Death- supposedly banned in 46 countries. From that glorious day to the early 2000s, mondo films have been pushing their way into the masses. In 1993, Damon Fox presented the "Traces of Death" series to the world; four sequels would (the last would be released in 2000).This low budget feature ($18 estimated) which grossed only $230; has a similar vibe as its father series, Faces of Death. What separates the two is a thin line. As motown stated, its not so much a film and its not so much a documentary. While both TOD and FOD show graphic accounts of executions, autopsies, accidents and other causes of death-- this has more authentic footage, which makes can make Traces of Death the true real shockumentary. Also shown include things such as car accidents, car bomb explosions, a story told by a man who survived a suicide attempt as well as tedious sex change operation footage.Being made on a near shoe string budget; the movie is very poor in quality and narration; compared to FOD with a budget of nearly half a million dollars. While Dr. Gross narrates most of Faces of Death, Mr. Fox comes in rarely; and usually only makes dark humor remarks-such as that to be found in Faces of Gore.With all of this being said, I will be generous and give the film a 5/10; its somewhat shocking for its time--but the quality decreases it quite a bit. I do give credit to the company for having more authentic footage, compared to Faces of Death; where most of it is reenacted.

Texas-Chainsaw-Massacre This is the most nastiest piece of junk I've ever seen. Forget Faces Of Death, this is all real and very graphic footage of well, let's see, Medical Operations, Accidents, Autopsys, plus pictures of suicides and police photographs. The shockementary is badly edited and is clearly meant to be exploitative and as sick as they, the producers, could get it. It's that badly edited in fact, that it just looks like a 2 VCR editing setup with a MIC attached. The commentator only rarely speaks, and when he does, his comments are gibberish and just to poke fun at the mayhem what unfolds. (During a scene of 'death' pictures) Comments include, " You will witness visions so incredibly graphic that your brain will surely comprehend the ghastly images it will receive!". Although, this footage is supposed to be 100% real, you won't know what the circumstances behind the scenes were, and therefore I found it boring and just vile. At least in Faces of Death, the commentator explains each scene so you know what has happened. Traces Of Death also includes the televised suicide of Bud Dywhite. This scene is replayed in different angles, replayed slowed down, and plainly just played till it would make you sick. If your after a rambling collection of death scenes this is your dream DVD!. However, if your after a serious documentary, then don't bother with this. I see its also banned in the UK, normally I think censorship is abhorrent, but in this case the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) should be given an award instead of the baseball bat!!!!. At this point I'd also like to point out this part does NOT have any death metal music. It's sick, vile, disturbing, and is strictly for adults over 18 what has a open mind, In my opinion, if you want a real shockumentary, Get Bumfights Presents: Terrorists, Killers & Middle East Wackos. Be warned, this is very graphic. I'll give Traces of Death a 3, because of it's pure exploitation!

cheeseboy80 Traces of death is the most disgusting film in the world. All the deaths in this movie are 100% real. This movie is not for anyone who can't handle blood and gore. The nature of this movie is really graphic. This is not one of those Horror films with actors pretending to get killed. No, this movie is beyond that. It's real video footage of people getting killed. Watch this movie at your own risk.I give this film 5 out of 10 (because it grossed me out sooo much)

Satan1 One of the most goriest movies I've ever saw, not for people who can't handle blood! It's very interesting to see how people die, the highlight of the movie is when the pitbull attacks the animal control lady. Various scenes from traffic accidents, murder, and gang violence! Another highlight of the movie is when they show a sex change operation, the person goes from woman to man! All in all, a very good video if you want to gross somebody out!
