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.

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.

More generic slasher than disturbing faux snuff.

A clever, nastily contemporary riff on what the original represents.

The movie knows there's no greater horror than the ones we're exposed to on a daily basis in the palm of our hands, and uses that tragic truth to its advantage in updating the notorious cult film for a new generation with varying levels of success.

A soft recommend. Hearing Mazzei and Goldhaber discuss the film is better than watching it as the result is a bit muddled and familiar

The meat of FoD is a crowded, amphetamine fueled cat and mouse chase that really should reconsider its daily dose.

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?

A bit silly. Interesting concept. I do hope Temu Jared Leto gets a Temu Oscar for his performance though.

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.
