Search - Banned in America on DVD

Good but not great

"For a long time I was searching for a movie that had real death, and in the process I wasted about 50-60 bucks on movies that were crap. I bought this with cautious optimism and was surprised but ultimately disappointed with this one. It starts off so well, but in the end there just wasn't enough murder and mayhem for me. I guess it's just my sick and demented mind, but I'm after real non-stop cold-blooded MURDER, not accidents or suicides, and I'm definetly not looking for bizarre human behavior that includes no death (which is what is offered in this movie, might as well just get Mondo Cane). Overall it's not bad, if you can find it for about (...) dollars it's worth it, just don't think you're getting anything brutal cause you're not."

Gruesome, nasty and downright entertaining.

"After viewing the infamous "Faces Of Death" (The Original Faces of Death: 30th Anniversary Edition [Blu-ray]) series, i was looking for the next step in this genre of movies and i decided to go with this. Featuring live suicides, executions and people just being stupid, this dvd is definitely disturbing to say the least even for someone who thinks they've seen it all. I would definitely not recommend this video to anyone below the age of 17 and if you are planing on purchasing this dvd i do recommend first buying the Faces Of Death just to prepare yourself. And although it may sound bad, this is very addicting to watch. Every fiber of your being will want to turn away but its very hard to resist watching which is where it gets its "entertainment" value."
