Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Thy Davideth I'm not much for documentaries but this is such a mind f***. Killing Of America made me realize why humanity is so stupid and why I question "How did the virus exist for this long?" Everything you see in this movie is real. VERY REAL! To some, it's sickening and disturbing. To others, it's stimulating. To all, it's educational. The documentary contains serial killers, assassinations, societal collapse and other happy $#!+. This movie is an educational look on human depravity and misery throughout the 60s and 70s. You can learn a lot from a sociopathic retard.

Leofwine_draca The Killing of America is much more than just another shockumentary collection of real-life death footage, although that's exactly what it is. It's this film's narration that makes it an exemplary addition to the genre; it's nothing less than a treatise on gun crime in America, exploring the many different avenues down which it arises and looking at some truly shocking statistics.It's the ice-cold presentation of the facts and figures, and the real-life cases of snipers and serial killers, that make this a memorable film. Certainly there are some shocking still photographs and clips presented here, but a lot of the footage nowadays seems tame given what's readily available for viewing on Youtube and the like. However, the direction, editing, and music all make this a film which engages the brain as well as the senses.

Michael_Elliott The Killing of America (1981) *** (out of 4) This documentary highlights the violent culture that has overtaken America. Throughout the running time we see a number of stories dealing with mass murderers, sexual assaults, sniper attacks and various other crimes. Narrator Chuck Riley talks about everything from political assassinations (the Kennedy's) to Jonestown to the Manson murders. Throughout the film we see how America is slowly becoming undone due to violence.THE KILLING OF America was released in American theaters for a couple weeks before it pretty much disappeared from this country. The film was made for the Japan market where it was a huge hit and it was also released there in a much longer version with even more stories. As it stands, the film remains a fairly well-made look at a violent culture and unlike the FACES OF DEATH series, this film here takes real footage to show what violence is doing.This film certainly has a message to get across. A lot of the blame is put on the fact that it's very easy to get a gun and we see what happens when madmen get their hands on an easy weapon. There's some interview footage with some of the mass murderers that are show (including Robert Kennedy's murderer) and we also see some trial footage to Ted Bundy. The John Lennon murder is looked at as are the stories of John Wayne Gacy, John Hinckley and Jim Jones among others.The FACES OF DEATH series was pure exploitation to the cheapest level. I wouldn't call this film exploitation since it's main goal was to obviously scare people into hoping for better laws to protect people. The film manages to be entertaining as long as you can put up with the violence of the story.

asummy This is a film that is hard to come by in the United States legitimately,but it can be found on Youtube. This film was done in the Mondo style,which means that it shows a lot of shocking footage covers lurid topics and is marginally educational at best. The premise of this film is that America has been in serious decline after the assassination of JFK. MLK was assassinated next sparking race riots in many US cities. "Killing" did not have much in the way of analysis. It did however show interviews from some of the Sirham Sirham, serial killers, and even a few teenage prostitutes (one male and one female) in LA. This documentary was made to entertain not to educate, which is why so many topics are covered: street crime, assassinations, serial killers, spree killers (snipers), race riots, the Vietnam War, child prostitution. "Killing" brings to light the mind boggling levels of violence that plagued America in from the early 1960s-1980s. This showed serial killers that faded into obscurity throughout the years.This film has some great stock footage and no real political leaning (aside the assertion that taking guns off the street might be a good idea). I would recommend this to any true crime junkie or anyone who wants to be reminded of what a truly awful time the 1970s were.
