Okay, so the most hateful sequence - - a `dining adventure' in which a troop of tourists sample live monkey brains - - has been snipped, but otherwise this `video nasty' is exactly as it was: a compendium of phoney snuff bullshit presented by a fruitcake pseudo-doctor.
A typical 10-minute `death' segment goes something like this: bear attack, volcano, hurricane, roadkill, war footage, mushroom cloud, vampire bat, autopsy. As filmmaking goes, it's a disaster: random, artless, abrupt, the so-called `caught-on-TV' deaths obviously, ineptly staged. That said, when the cruelty on display takes a turn for the real, there's some truly objectionable stuff here, including concentration-camp footage, seal clubbing and a rooster getting decapitated to `Old McDonald's Farm'. It's notorious but worthless, the whole enterprise stinking of gore-nerd trophyism. Don't bother.
