Faces of Death

“I remember the original faces of death was really trending when I was in elementary school and the children would "smuggle" their VHS to each other to scare the shit out of the other children. This movie is surprisingly good for a revisiting of faces of death. In a world where everything that matters is getting those likes in your social media posts, Margot goes to the extreme and sees her sister die in a dangerous attempt stunt to the camera. She later join the social media company to screen harmful content believing she could make a difference, but when she starts seeing videos reacting the faces of death segments that look real snuff movies, the company just doesn't give a shit. When trying to figure out where those videos are coming from by herself she gets tangled in the mess. The movie is overall pretty good, the only suspension of disbelief was that the characters must be deaf, because fights are breaking out in their house and no one seems to hear it??”

“You’d think that a horror film like Faces of Death would at least have some decent kills, but even those are uninspired and are more straightforward than anything else. Faces of Death feels like a lazy reboot; controversy has been replaced with apathy, and a cast of characters and performances you want nothing more than to reach through your screen and slap the s**t out of. Even the film’s meta aspects feel shoehorned in just to get that forced meme reaction: Leonardo DiCaprio enthusiastically pointing at the screen, a moment that is met instead with dizzying eye rolls and extreme facepalming. https://bit.ly/DeadFace”
