What to Know

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.

Kyle Logan Chicago Reader 57m
More generic slasher than disturbing faux snuff. Go to Full Review Alison Willmore New York Magazine/Vulture 2d
A clever, nastily contemporary riff on what the original represents. Go to Full Review Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal 2d
The film loses its edge as it proceeds, turning into something more generic, less credible, and overly explicit in its statement of themes. Go to Full Review Matt Oakes Silver Screen Riot 2h
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. Go to Full Review Luis Pomales-Diaz Horror Press 5h
8/10
Faces of Death (2026) manages to reinvigorate its namesake, and gives it a sense of modernized purpose that the horror franchise lacked before. What results is a film that feels as socially relevant as it is frightening. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 22h
Director-cowriter Daniel Goldhaber does a decent job with this conceit. Still, Death is still a somewhat disappointingly conventional exercise after his more interesting prior features. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Michael E 4h Not what I expected. Actually pretty good. Nice commentary on the desensitization of society through social media. See more Teal 12h 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. See more m 13h Terrible! It was so FAKE! Blood looked like literally paint See more Michael 16h Uneven, tensionless and dumb. Wait for steaming See more Kyle 16h Was not what I was expecting, 3rd act really saved this movie 2 stars! See more Daniel 16h Better than expected but I could have waited for Shudder!
