Hmmm....i want you to think about some mistakes, that seems to been made hereLets begin: Mistake number 1, The footage: According to the host Dr Van gore, the narrator and the entire film all footage are taken from Japan. WRONG! They're not from Japan, they're from Thailand! Why am i so sure about that? Well, i you look carefully at the police officers which pass by on and on throughout the film you can see Thailands flag on their uniforms. I've looked really, really carefully and yes it is Thailands flag. All the people we see look like they're from Thailand or at least some other country in South east Asia(Cambodja, Vietnam etc) Only two clips take place outside of Japan, one man that has been shot in a mall in central Bangkok, Thailand and one man that threw himself into a polluted river in Hong Kong. All other clips are "Japanese".After the black-white clip with the polluted man from Hong Kong Dr Van Gore has something on his heart to tell us: "I filmed that scene personally and i was moved by this tragic event. My best wish is that i could erase that horrible picture from my mind forever. Or better.....if i had just bought some color-film for my camera".And also the signs on the police cars. Believe me, i have only been on one trip to Asia( to Turkey) and I'm not an expert on Asian signs and alphabets, but ask an expert on Japanese to watch to tape. He will know that it ain't Japanese signs.Mistake number 2, The Narrator: The director Todd Tjersland also serves as the narrator for this film( like Damon Fox in "Traces of death"). And they're very different narrators both of them. Damon Fox was almost just mumbling from the entire Traces, but mister Tjersland can never keep his mouth shut! And believe me, he sounds like a really really sick man.Mr Tjersland is also a bit of a pig. In another scene we see the body of a young girl 19-22 years old who has hung herself with an electric cable in her apartment. Mr Tjersland starts babbling with an extremely cheesy Transylvanian-style dialect: " Neighbours had start complaining about a strange smell from one of their neighbours apartments. But it was not because this young woman had stopped BAAADDDIINNGGG! It was because she had stopped BRRIIIDIINNGGG!" God, he is such an dumb ass....And then:" No crime scene investigation would be complete without looking at the dead girls breasts. And since she doesn't seem to complain, our lead investigator shall proceed".We then watch of one of the crime scene guys cuts of the girls skirt and we see her breasts. And the narrator goes: "Ah, and here we have the vital information we needed. The victim died wearing a breast cup size 34 C". Jackass....Another scene shows a young couple that has died in a car crash. This is what the narrator thinks about the girl:" You will note how good and well-treated female bodies are being taken care by our own Mr Sato from the Institute of gorenology. He will probably use this woman for his sick, necrophiliac experiments back at the Institute" And then they've added some cheesy jazz-music to make it worse! When the coroners pull her body away from the car when see that her entire body below the waist is blood-stenched.Mister narrator:" Look at the woman, it appears she has menstruated all over herself. This rare occurrence is known as 'Himakosa menstruosa' and now her body can unfortunately not be used by the horny Mr Sato. Lets wish him better luck next time!"And finally Mistake number 3, The "Hollywood" clip: At the end of the film we see a movie clip that according to our host Dr Van Gore is taken from a Hollywood film. It ain't. Anyone can see that it is an independent low-budget amateur film.The clip is from a film called "the Necrofiles". About a cannibal rapist who is brought back to life by a satanic cult and then goes on a killing spree around town. In one scene we see how a bad guy is being shot by a FBI-agent. Play the scene in slow-motion on your DVD-player(which i did) and you can see the bad guys squib, how it explodes and how the fake-blood squirting.Now we are at a cemetery where the satanic cult are performing a ritual by sacrificing a baby. I could clearly see that it was a doll already the first time watching this! Also, is it just me or is that cemetery the same cemetery that the crew used for Dr Van Gores scenes in Faces of gore where he walks around in the sunny afternoon? It looks familiar to me.I'm not going to reveal any more now and the film has a wise moral piece at the end:" Is man a hungry savage beast longing for so much death?" Even though all these mistakes it is quite good. If you like Mondo and real death, the check this out!

I know that the opening spiel said that they made up the stories and changed the names, but come on. Every story apparently takes place in Japan, and all the names are Japanese. Well, even a moron can tell that these are NOT from Japan.The people don't look Japanese, the writing on the uniforms is definitely not Japanese, and the way that the police wrap up bodies in butcher paper and touch bits of internal organs with non-gloved hands suggests these clips originate in a third-world country.I'm no expert on asian languages and alphabets, but I'll hazard an informed guess that these clips are from the area of Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.Putting all of that aside, the movie is pointless. Many people say it's a gorefest, but I just found it boring. Once you've seen a couple of car accidents and suicides, you've seen them all. Don't waste your time with this cheap ripoff of Faces of Death.

Ninety minutes' worth of crushed heads, charred flesh, and exposed entrails in a mondo movie to sate even the hardest, most unbalanced real-death enthusiast. This footage, originating from Asia, is genuinely nauseating stuff - with the exception of a clearly fake interview with a supposed Japanese hitman, and a selection of gore effects from The Necro Files, all images on show are authentic aftermaths of violent sloppy deaths. Only the most crimson-soaked gaping wounds have found their way onto this somewhat dubious collection. To avoid any confusion on the part of the viewer, the film is helpfully divided into three sections; crash, suicide, and murder. If this all sounds gruellingly serious, well, think again; what makes this film truly shocking is not the footage on show, despite its intensity, but the outrageously juvenile approach to it all. The film's host, a Dr. Vincent Van Gore (sure thing, you guys), looking for all the world like Peter Fonda's bombed-out stoner cousin, is apparently a member of the Institute of Gorenology (!), who has returned from his studies in Japan into the 'Phenomena of Death' carrying his findings in what appears to be an old lady's shopping bag. The narration which plays over these images has to be heard to be believed; burn victims in a train wreck, for instance, would be better off dead as they now have to `live out their lives as badly deformed freaks who no-one would love.' Beavis and Butthead themselves couldn't have put it any better. A teenage boy, having hanged himself over poor marks at school, is referred to as a `self-defeatist who has taken the easy way out'; the narrator quips that, `if only the students in America were this conscientious about maintaining their grade-point averages, we'd have an epidemic of mass suicides on our hands.'Not that we should take everything we are told here as gospel. A coroner, seen in one of the clips examining a newlywed couple killed in a car smash, is identified as one Mr Sato, a fellow member of the Institute of Goreology who just happens to be a practicing necrophiliac! If there was any remaining doubt over the true 'scientific' level at which Faces of Gore is operating, the narrator's gloating over a naked female corpse - even informing us of the unfortunate young woman's bra size - ought to dispel them at once. Faces of Gore's closest spiritual cousin, it quickly becomes apparent, is South Park: The Movie.`We know only one thing for certain,' Dr Van Gore tells us, strolling through a cemetery on a sunny afternoon; and that is `that death will come, and whether it's suddenly in a car crash, or slowly from a painful, lingering cancer, it will matter not, for we shall never escape. We will all die, sooner or later.' Surprisingly for this film, never has a truer word been uttered; I guess the most any of us can hope for, then, is that when our time is up, our bodies don't find themselves being paraded and ridiculed on a tape like the Faces of Gore.

This is DEFINITELY the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. It's not just the footage, the comments made by the narrator compound just gory footage and it becomes a truly sick joke- how much more vile could you be? Laughing and joking about mutilated bodies and burnt up corpses? If you think you've seen anything in this class (like Fakes of Death or Traces of Entertainment) you are DEAD wrong. This one tops them all. The end credits suggest a sequel, Faces of Gore 2, I say BRING IT ON!
