The story

What Is Empire of Madness About?

The premise of Empire of Madness without spoilers.

True Gore II (Empire of Madness, 1989) by Causey contains virtually no gore. The first half strings together staged faux‑snuff clips reminiscent of SOV anthologies like Murder Collection. The second half satirizes 80s/90s satanic‑panic docs. Its segments parody shockumentary tropes, and the credits mock the genre by listing a ‘researcher’ and a ‘visual archivist’ instead of a cameraman.
