In FACES OF DEATH, the exploration of the original film's infamous "is it real or not?" conceit continues as a woman (Ferreira) working as a content moderator for a major video platform discovers what appears to be re-enactments of murders from the original film. In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fiction, or unfolding in real time.

Critics Consensus

A fiercely transgressive, self-aware reimagining that occasionally gives way to conventional genre exploitation, Faces of Death interrogates the morbid spectacle of violence with striking brutality and intelligence.

Audience Says

An homage to the iconic original, Faces of Death swaps momentum for meta-analysis but succeeds as a unique exploration of its predecessor.

Whether real or fake, grim or goofy, everything gets flattened into content.

There are a bunch of Faces of Death films.. This one and the first one are probably the only two you need to see.

Goldhaber, whose previous film was the highly charged 2023 eco-minded docu-heist thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline, has managed again to use the entertainment-first hallmarks of genre filmmaking to tap into the nervous energy of the moment.

4/5

Faces of Death is a fantastic commentary on how bad men getting away with inhuman horrors are running out of time because women have simply had enough of their destruction.

We get plenty of the sanity-shredding impact of relentless reels and snapshots which are in many ways the legacy of mondo cinema, and the film also riffs rather well on the great possibilities afforded by the modern internet...

4.5/5

It’s rare to find a character this well developed in a slasher film, but Goldhaber pays equal attention to the smaller roles.

It was fun but the gore was disappointing seemed more story focused but hopefully it expands for the next ones

You sympathise with the main character. It is a great commentary on trends and vulgarity. The executions and torture was too much in real time so it was high on tension.

interesting way to utilize the infamy of the original without attempting the same shtick

Good concept, decent execution. If youre a horror fan, go see it and support low budget horror films.

For a movie that is a think piece on the realism of death and how social media has led to the trend of baiting users with nostalgia/replication… Realism was replaced with movie logic in the end. But maybe that’s precisely the point?

This movie was not great. The things happening towards the end didn’t make sense and we were expecting a lot more based on everyone’s review. Giving it two starts because it started off okay.
