Mainly a collection of ugly pictures depicting human misery. If you are entertained by a seemingly endless barage of disfigured, dismembered, corpses, then this is the movie for you. I found it disgusting and boring.

What I find most amazing is that I'm the first one to give this snuff garbage 1 star, 10 November 2008

No!! Absolutely not. I dig gory horror, as well as gory comedy, but this isn't the same thing, The Amazing Shocking Asia is just (real) gore for the hell of it. Just sickening scene after stomach-turning image after decayed corpse, and that music!! simply traumatizing. Some guy chimes in, occasionally giving us a little dialog (explanation). My only excuse for knowing of this is that a friend led me to believe that this was quality horror, but as it turned out, she only glanced at the cool-looking cover, in the video store, and me, being open to all B-cinema, rented it, and sat through the whole damn thing. And you know what? the cover wasn't even that cool. Don't think for one second that snuff-gore is all this so-called Shockumentary throws at us. We got horrible deformities, eating habits that are better left unexplained, rituals that should be outlawed, and an infant that couldn't possibly be of this planet. I recommend you forget you ever heard of this nightmare, and watch something worthwhile, like Poultrygeist. Although, if you have a thing for disturbing "documentaries", just watch Faces Of Death, or Faces Of Death 2, or 3, or 4, or 5, or Mondo Cane, or Traces Of Death, or Faces Of Gore. Anything but this!! 1/1

Geez another one???, 5 June 2008

A shoddy attempt to capitalize on Herr Olson's double opus. (That's Shocking Asia 1 and 2 gang.) This is nothing but a series of scenes trying to show people in the ravages of poverty and disease. And each vignette tries to outdo the last.

Because it's in Asia however, the yobbos that released this piece of tripe tried to connect it with the former two shock-docs. They should be drawn and slapped for it.

If you are one of the poor souls that get a thrill out of human suffering, this is you flick. I wasn't. There was no rhyme or reason for this.

Pass.
