Traces of Death II

Over the years I have seen many different types of faces of death movies. You have "The Many Faces of Death part 1-10", "Faces of Death part 1-4" (I think), and others like "Banded in America". But none of those comes close to "Traces of Death" Part 1-5. Excellent death movies, simply excruciating scenes of pain and death, and on top of that a bad *ss soundtrack with some wicked death metal music. I would have to say parts one and two are the best, three was weak and 4 and 5 were better. If you for some chance run across these movies check it out. I know there are many people out there who hate these films but these can also teach you some things. Things like never fly a ballon near power lines, never run out in front of a motorcycle, never p*** off an African tribe, and never get a sex change! 9/10 stars.

WoW! This one is more gory and deady than the first! If you liked Traces OF death...watch Traces OF Death II! The only thing I didn't like is they combined Death metal music with scenes of human death..but if you like Death metal that's ok. I particularly like the people jumping from buildings on fire! One sicko jumped just in front of a camera. See a solider losing his arm, and a native being castrated - this scene makes me feel very uncomfortable. There is another scene of punishment for rape; human sacrifices; murders. In the first Traces you can see a male to female sex change, in this one it's a female to male sex change... and much, much, more. If you are sick like me you will love this movie!

I don't know what one can say about these movies. The first Traces was fascinating to me, the shock value blew me away as it was fifty times more believable than Faces of Death. I saw the 2nd Traces just out of curiosity and didn't like it at all. The addition to extreme heavy metal music to the soundtrack just turned me away from the film. The music seemed to turn my repulsion volume up a few too many notches. Even so, the movie was just really bland. See the first, if you can handle it, it's realism and gore will blow you away.

This is the best of the series or of any similar gore film series! It keeps the narration cheese level down and the much more appropriate, Death Metal cranked up! Apparently, there are actually gore hounds that don't like Death Metal, (although, I have never personally met one) and they all seemed to have written a review complaining about the soundtrack to this film. I believe this film's soundtrack to be far superior and more appropriate for the visuals you see, making this "movie" the best of the bunch. I guess if you prefer to see a human body destroyed to the spaced out synthesizer soundtrack from Logan's Run, stick with the first one. Me? I will take Unleashed's Swedish Death Metal soundtrack for the win!

Beyond that, it's more of the same as the first one (which I assume you have seen if you're reading this.) In a nutshell, it's a plethora of nasty bits of real Ultra Violence splattering your screen and your dreams for over an hour. There's some narration telling the viewer what they're seeing and that's the basic concept.

"Highlights" include:

Accidents, executions, suicides, punishments, murders, a sex change and at least one act of revenge that is sure to be a crowd pleaser! Seriously, it's probably the most satisfying death to be displayed in any of the five films. Obviously this film is not for everyone. I own the 5 DVD collection, so I guess that says something about me.

Death + Death Metal is a winning combination!

I love a good shockumentary, and i admit Traces of Death 2 contains enough good footage and nastyness but... the music ruined it. I watch these docs for the footage and not for the metal, it's just a shame.
