GERSICHTER DES TODES TEIL 3 1985

 The best horror stories, the most gruesome horror film, are nothing compared to the brutality of life. In "Faces of Death, Part III," journalists left their cameras rolling past the point where every television station fades out. The result is a document of violence, a depiction of what people are capable of: "normal" everyday police work with bodies found in dumpsters and basements disfigured beyond recognition: the arrest of unscrupulous cocaine dealers; the shooting of a hostage-taker; fierce German Shepherds tearing apart a burglar in front of a running surveillance camera; original hidden-camera footage of inhumane interrogation and torture methods; diving teams attacked by sharks; exorcism; the arrest of mass murderer Charles Manson; Documents of a sick society in which witnesses and victims remain silent for fear of reprisals, and terror continues to spread..
