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.

4d

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.

5/10

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

3/5

While Goldhaber's call back to the cult classic franchise could never dream to match the infamy of its inspiration in the social media age, it's a serviceable serial killer thriller elevated by a compelling lead performance.

7/10

An imperfect but compelling film, one that captures the darker sides of social media culture and society’s fascination with the macabre.

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.

This film was very unique and creative! Not just the kills, but the entire plot altogether! This Movie is a breath of fresh air to the tired killer chasing teens trope. Its about a man who is obsessed with remaking the 1978 cult classic Faces of Death. Great acting and music score! it's sad that Scream 7 gets all the attention while horror films like this gem hardly gets noticed....
