This shockumentary caused a stir when it was released in 1962 -- no one had seen anything quite like it before. But audiences need not have worried, this low-brow, disconnected series of clips on "savages" and "barbarians" (usually dark-skinned) who pierce their skin or their noses and do not bother to cover their breasts, would only get worse in ...
Despite its exploitive nature, the 1963 Italian "shockumentary" Mondo Cane yielded a few images of great beauty while dredging through the more extreme and outrageous eccentricities of the world. It also produced the hit song "More". Mondo Cane Part 2 offers little more but sensationalism; even the music is on a seedy level. Some of the bizarre ...

This shameless knockoff of Last House on the Left even goes so far as to repeat the detail of having the theme song performed by the lead villain. Florinda Bolkan (Non Si Sevizia un Paperino) plays a nun who takes the teenage girls in her care to a remote house where they rehearse A Midsummer Night's Dream. Ray Lovelock and a pair of thugs show up ...
