Probably the sickest film I've seen.

I would disagree about Savage man Savage Beast being the sickest film i have ever seen that distinction belongs purely to Marian Doran's Cannibal , which is still the ONLY film to this day that i have turned off and not been able to go back and finnish..

I find the slaughterhouse footage in films like Cannibal Man and Bell of Hell far more disturbing than any mondo film as at least there it is in the context of the film and not out of place.

Also the Japanese Death films are harder viewing than the italian mondo's, but that'a any entirely different can of worms

Well I think that Mondo movies are made just for the point of shock and gore so basically its like gore porn .
Moves made for people who get off on watching real life death. IMO thats just plain wrong and anyone who enjoys mondo's needs mental help.

I not seen any Japanese death movies or those cannibal movies. I only seen clips of Traces of Death which aint meant to be the worst of the Mondos and I didnt watch much of it.

You could say exactly the same about films like the August Underground Trilogy,etc.

you are young so you wouldn't remember documentaries like survival being the norm on prime time british tv.

Please point out exactly where i stated i get enjoyment from mondo films, i have a fascination with them which is entirely different.

Human Beings are capable of some extremely cruel and strange actions, look up Albert Fish, Ed Gein, Issei Sawaga, Andrei Chikatilo etc

Is that the one from, a couple of years back about the Armin Miewes case? I was going to get that. Didn't realise is was especially extreme! Me and (especially) the girlfriend like films based on true crime cases.

I never said you get enjoyment out of it, I was just saying "people" that do need help.

And August Underground is fake and we know it so its not comparable. I was simply stating that those people that like Mondo cause its real scenes of death etc need help and its my opinion.

I doubt it. Not my cup of tea, but she'd be fascinated by that.

It does? Didn't realise that at all while watching it a good while back....

Well it got also banned (not surprisingly) in Germany as "violent pornography".

Are you sure about that??
I cant find any info about it at all. People just say its a faux documentary recreating the incident.
