2/10
90% faked... and poorly at that.

Basically this film's a mix-bag of old news footage and poor fakes. It's a very low-budget film and it shows -- clearly the producers of this film had very little money for actors, so you actually recognize the faces of the "participants" in a lot of the scenes which are said to occur in very different places and times. You'll see someone die tragically one moment, then miraculously come to life again for the next tragedy... this is a very silly film, but then that's pretty obvious from the over-the-top introduction by "Dr. Louis Flellis".

Even if you don't have a good eye for faces, the faked nature of many of the "shocking footage recently recovered" is so obvious it's a wonder anyone can not spot it. The "bungee" scene, supposedly taken with one camera on the roof, has a cinematic cut to another scene at ground level. In the tiger scene, the wounded man mysteriously changes clothes between the time of the attack and the arrival of the paramedics (he starts off in camouflage, but ends up wearing blue coveralls, and his hair changes color too). I understand the whole "voluntary suspension of disbelief" idea, but this film is quite poor even by exploitation flick standards.
