It is a documentary, which submits to the public the most dramatic, subhuman situations in which men find themselves living in all corners of the world. From India to Brazil, from the African nations of the Sahel to Bolivia, the camera ruthlessly shows the images of a humanity marginalized in a thousand ways by the so-called"civil consortium".
Early Mondo film featuring primitive rituals, animals being butchered, unusual birth defects, and a legit trepanation scene.
4.5A collection of death scenes, ranging from TV-material to home-made super-8 movies. The common factor is death by some means.
2.4The final official installment in the "Mondo Cane" series dares to go where no other Mondo film has gone before.
1.0Cult director Sergio Martino, during the most glorious mondo years, delivered Naked and Violent, a documentary which unveils the brutality of the USA. Hidden behind a mask of perfection and justice, Naked and Violent traces the problems of American society in the 70s: from racial persecutions to the depraved sexual habits of the middle class, from the drug market to illegal gambling.
5.5An Italian mondo documentary about Finland. Among other things, it showcases intricacies of local mating culture, sports, Midsummer festivities and sauna.
4.5Completely topless. Completely uninhibited. The craze that began in San Francisco is now exploding across the USA and Europe.
1.0This film is a Mondo film, which only shows various forms of violence, images of accidents and dead people. This film, after a brief introduction from the director, is not intended to glorify violence, but only to show the reality. Images of surveillance cameras showing shopkeepers being threatened with weapons, amateur videos of Colombian drug trafficking, executions and skull collections are shown here. As the film progresses, one sees various deformities of newborn and unborn babies. The film concludes with a hip hop music video.
3.3Mondo Cane and the Schoolgirl Report series stand as obvious influences on this occasionally amusing but generally rather tedious exploitation film that alternates between documentary, fake documentary and docudrama. The theme is Satanism and the linking thread is a recreation of what is supposedly the real-life case of a murder and attempted murder of two Munich teenage men by a quartet of girls who had been dabbling in devil worship. During the ensuing trial, the lawyer resorts to dilatory tactics while the hearing is frequently interrupted by the girls breaking into incantation, temper tantrums or shivery fits ostensibly bearing on demonic possession. When the subject of the Manson killings is brought up, the most obnoxious of the defendants breaks in indignantly, claiming that Sharon Tate’s “execution” was justified as she posed dangers to the Satanic community.
2.8The effects of pollution on the inhabitants of a Japanese fishing village; group psychotherapy methods used in the United States; animal testing for the effects of drugs; assisted fertilization in a Swedish clinic; a gay dance in London; heart surgery by American surgeon De Bakey; a dog fight in Japan; sex education for blind children in Sweden; military training for young Palestinians in Lebanon; contraceptive techniques taught in Sweden; state-managed abortion combined with female infertility treatment; a female priest celebrating Mass; a school for children with phocomelia: these are some of the themes explored in this mondo documentary.
2.8Rare mondo film focusing on the seamier side of Paris. Crazy fashions, transgender hookers, coke snorting New Wavers, female body builders, nude beaches, leather bars, a wealthy playboy’s private torture dungeon and some X-rated dildo insertion to liven things up.
Special release in the Death File series focused on spirituality instead of gore and brutality.
3.9The film documents modern slave trade through a number of African countries, under dictatorship rule. The filming was conducted both in public places, and sometimes with the use of hidden cameras, for high impact scenes of nudity, sex, and violence - and a few surprises, as slaves made out of peregrins to Asia, and slave traders paid in traveller checks.
3.7This documentary looks at strange behaviors and practices in Europe, including nude skiing in Switzerland, hot-butchering in Italy, and an orgy in a graveyard.
4.8Mondo-style shockumentary about various aspects of the occult and paranormal. An investigation into the fringes of psychic spirituality with so-called experts, it includes demonic possession, exorcism, seances, Voodoo ceremonies, hypnotism, ESP, psychic surgery, and more. A warning bell alerts squeamish viewers to avert their eyes from the more graphic scenes.
5.0An exotic world of eroticism, witchcraft, masochism and strange secret places.
2.0A 'documentary' of stripping, from the dawn of humanity to the future.
1.0A shockumentary mixtape consisting of four videos taken off the internet. Includes a real grave robbing tutorial, an actual dark look in the inside of a mortuary, a man who delivers "just desserts" to his family and a hunting video for innocent small creatures.
