II can safely say, this movie is easily in the top 3 most disturbing films I have ever seen. I watched many MONDO films like Faces of Death, Traces of Death, Orozco, Killing of America, Death File Red, The Junk Films, Faces of Gore, and The Children of Darkness... This movie has everything. The images they showcase in the first 20 minutes are truly horrible. These still photos of the people that went through these suicidal acts are really hard to watch.
Next is the long a bit boring segment which showcases how famous actors died in gruesome ways. And then the last 10-20 minutes are the worst. This movie goes out of its way to showcase child death. There is a dedicated segment in this where we see nothing but the most innocent lose their lives. It was truly horrible and sad to watch that, it makes an adult man angry. How can someone do that to a young human being???? The final segment was the short war footage.
I have two negatives for this MONDO film: The audio is really bad. It was really hard to understand most of what was being said. Simply because of the quality. The second negative is that the movie does get slow and repetitive at times. It's not like Traces of Death and Faces of Death that constantly manage to ramp up the factor, here it's slow but it works. I wish I could of hear the narrator better, that probably would make this movie even creepier.
Ultimately, if you are into Mondo films, this is right up your boat. However, if you're not. Honestly, this is one of the darkest Mondo films you'll come across.
