A subgenre of mockumentary that focus on exotic customs and particularly gruesome subject matters. Also referred to as "shockumentaries" and "exploitation pseudo-documentaries."
"Faces of Death" is an American mondo production that talks about and depicts various methods of death and violence. While panned critically, "Face of Death" has become a staple of the genre and can be considered a gateway film for those with a passing interest in mondo films.

"You're gonna want to see this."
Before there was YouTube or break.com, there was the late night local news. Announcers would come on during the commercial breaks of prime time TV shows and say whatever would get viewers to stay on that channel and watch the news. So, they'd describe something that would intrigue the viewers' curiosity, and then say "film at 11." The actual film shown at 11 rarely lives up to the hyped expectations.

There have been evidence of snuff films, there was a huge Russian based child-porn ring/website broken up a few years ago called "Wonderland." Where for the right price they would kill the kid and film it, and the perv would watch it. The police have evidence of these digital tapes, and part of one was shown on an Italian news broadcast!
BTW you contridicted yourself when you said "...Some serial killes have recored themsleves torturing and killing, but these crimes were not filmed(???)..." And what the fuck is a legitimate murder?
