What IMDB sez: "A "shockumentary" consisting of a collection of mostly real archive footage displaying mankind at its most depraved and perverse, displaying bizarre rites, cruel behavior and bestial violence."

What WE say: Nowadays, in the age of THE INTERNET! and reality TV, you might find this little piece of film rather quaint. Full of "shocking" footage that wouldn't even qualify as an opening round on Fear Factor. But that's not the point, really. This bad boy of cinema was the dang gum FIRST! film freakout. People lost they damn minds back in the day watching this shit, man. Like fainting in the aisles and getting the vapors and whatnot. So, what do you say we talk a trip back in time and pay a visit to the olden golden days of underground cinema with MONDO CANE!

What WE say: Um. Yeah. Well... IT'S ART! We know that much. Both disturbing and beautiful, it's pretentious beyond human reason, there are no words to wrap your head around this baby. We've chose the numerical first in the series instead of the production number (which is part four, dontcha know) for no other reason then my constant and obsessive need for order to be imposed on an orderless universe, where dark beasts of flame and shadow stare back at us from unending nightmare worlds barely seen nor understood waiting to devour our pulsating masses of flesh and bone and soul the first time we let our guard down the merest hint of failure screaming unto our... ahem. Just watch the fucking thing, I gotta go wash my hands... again.
