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.

B-

A good-enough small-scale horror film elevated by an overqualified Dacre Montgomery, built around a fascinating idea about our growing distrust of what we see online.

B-

It’s both a canny contemporary riff on the material and a well-made but only moderately scary slasher.

B-

This overtly schlocky, grindhouse B-movie takes the concept of "is it real or not" and drags it into the vertical video age to decent effect. It’s fun, if forgettable, and Barbie Ferreira makes a solid scream queen debut.

Originally just went for Charolette (the accent btw 🤩, she’s a ⭐️), was pleasantly delighted to discover another Shudder classic. Ryan, what a lad 😢. Slightly disappointing to follow a protagonist the duration of the film that initially just didn’t want it enough (at first), yet ultimately satisfying.

Alittle bit slow at first. But the 3rd act saved it for me. Loved the killer performance. Outstanding. I expected it to be more gory/violent from the trailer. Overall I came out enjoying the film!

the pacing was odd, it felt very rushed at times but overall not a bad watch. i wish they had leaned either fully into the campiness or kept it serious. dacre gave a skarsgardian performance, he has great range and of course the prettiest eyelashes i have ever seen. charli did an accent, really hoped she'd have her scream queen moment..

Not what I expected. Actually pretty good. Nice commentary on the desensitization of society through social media.

This was not bad but not great. Acting seemed good, had some gore but anticipated far more. Didnt feel like it drug on but also felt like I was waiting for something bigger to happen. Not entirely sure of overall feeling of the movie as a whole.
