THE KILLING OF AMERICA (1981); DVD
Documentary/Shockumentary/Cult DVD
Documentary featuring footage of some of America’s most well known murders and assassinations. It’s filled with a lot of statistics and done with a very serious tone giving it a sort of newsworthy ‘importance’. (If narrator Chuck Riley’s voice got anymore resonate of stern you’d swear he’d have to be a robot.) Yet it offers no real solutions and after ninety minutes of almost complete carnage does it only briefly mention the issue of handgun registration. Thus despite it’s pretensions it’s really at home with the rest of it’s mondo/exploitation brethren which were made simply to cash in on the shock value of it’s content. Just the way we like it….
