Did what 'Faces of Death' didn't: bore.
Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki30 May 2014
Low-grade, random newsreel footage seemingly recorded from local television stations on a VHS, with no progression from one segment to the next. Listless narration added in after the fact basically just tells us what we're watching.

Opens with planes colliding at an airshow- meant to shock both of the viewers by abruptly starting the mayhem, but just makes it seem like we've missed an earlier intro scene setting this one up.

I thought I saw the same guy being shot in the street twice. I know they show the high generation surveillance video of the Dallas convenience store robbery at least twice.

Rotting corpses, and a lot of them.

Sioux City, Iowa plane crash from 19 July was shown in one of the Faces of Death flicks.

Really very dire stuff here; I found it boring even when I was a horror movie-obsessed teenager, and I still do.

The opening credits call this 'Inhumanities II Modern Atrocities', while the closing credits call it 'Inhumanities 2', with the Arabic number 2, and no subtitle at all. It blows, regardless of what it is called. The closing credits also warn us of Inhumanities 3, which, as far as I can tell, never materialised. Did the makers of these things run out of beer and blank video tape?

Faces of Death might have been largely fake, but it was more amusing than this, and had more structure and progression and better narrative than this does. It had more shock value, too. This is just relentless and depressing, as lifeless as the dead bodies present in it.

This should've been named ''Banned from television 2''

So, like you saw on the title of this review, Inhumanities takes most of it's footage from TV cameras and civilians passing by, so the quality of the scenes aren't very good, but in this case is something quite positive, because the content shown in this movie is atroucious and, to put more simply, evil. From war recordings to rituals and plane crashes, Inhumanaties reveals the sadistic side of our societies, and shows the true consequences of free will. But, the progression of the movie is slow and very predictable. Not worth the watch, save that last drop of sanity in your head for something else.

Did what 'Faces of Death' didn't.

Warning: Spoilers
Unlike the first one, this was all too real.

It was more graphic than normal news footage, but not by much.

The fact that it wasn't that gory actually made it more depressing to watch. Seeing air-crash victims get covered with sheets caused one to realize that yes, it CAN happen that fast.

The Matamoros murders (Alberto de Jesus Costanzo, remember him?) got some play here. Realizing that that stuff in the pot was once human will turn stomachs a few times.

The neck-lacing scene from Africa will make anyone fidget in their seat too.

But the skydiver filming his buddies, who suddenly realizes his parachute won't open, will make you crap yourself. The narrator said he forgot it. But I doubt that. Either way, the scenes hits hard.

Well done. And (cliche') shocking.
