thesavdog I agree with D Segura that most of the film especially the autopsies need some narration of some sort as they tend to get a bit boring if you don't know what is happening. Its still fascinating in some parts. The sex change operation is painful to watch if you are a man ha ha. The pigs getting burned I could have done without though, very cruel indeed. The Faces of Death series at least had some sort of structure to it and it feels as though this has just been thrown together in no order.Some of the scenes were short/poor quality and not explained at all.The narrator is a giggle with his horror voice.

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.

barbaricfellow I had seen all the "faces of death" films ,i wasn't shocked or anything at all with these films and as said before they had some documentary feeling However... watching this film (partly)i had the same feeling.... until the incredible evil torture against animals,this is so sickening violent that i had to to something,if only to warn people not to spread this filth,(as a torrent,(OR ANY OTHER WAY)To my amazement i saw that this movie is widely sold and advertised. Why anybody would wanna see this as entertainment is totally beyond my (and any sane person IMO)comprehension,so if the people who are making these films get a commercial success out of it, they are gonna repeat it! So the viewer will be responsible (to a certain extend) of what he sees. Think about that when u see this! i would say ignore it,also there are certain people like myself who would (and will!!!!!) pay a small fortune to get my hands on any of the persons involved in making the animal clips in this film,or providing someone else with the means necessary to make it for them!(ADMIN,IF YA WANNA DELETE MY POST WATCH THE FILM AND YOU WONT!!)"BARBARICFELLOW"

patentes I prefer Faces of death, cause there's someone speaking to the audience telling every little detail about what you're watching, but this is definetly the goriest "mondo" bloody film that I've ever watched. There's two more parts and each one contain some boring footage (the one with the surgeries are terribly long, and without speaking) but it's worth seeing because of the other scenes, like explosions or real photos from the police. check it if you can stand it...
