Moviegoers are saying
This meta-horror reimagining of the notorious 1978 'Faces of Death' has audiences divided between its sharp social media commentary and its deliberately unsettling approach to modern violence consumption. While critics praise Daniel Goldhaber's intelligent deconstruction of viral content culture, viewers are split on whether its post-modern meditation on digital desensitization hits harder than it horrifies.

amazonechodotApr 5, 2026Incredible to see this with an audience after all these years. Most importantly finally got to show it to my mom and dad. Hope everyone enjoys it. Give the people what they want :)
daniel goldhaberApr 5, 2026It’s a shame the “Scream” franchise has already bled out everywhere but the box office, because Daniel Goldhaber’s similarly meta “Faces of Death” is sharp enough to have cut that self-cannibalizing shibboleth down to size on its own. Much uglier and more pointed than…

Would’ve been way higher rated for me if it wasn’t for “margo” the main character. Not only was she bad at acting, she also caused all the bad things that happened to her. Never rooted so hard for a killer to win and rid the main character. Also “Sam” ruined it as well. Sigh.
Matt Ortiz lovedFaces of DeathBarbie Ferrería ✅ Synth Score and Grainy Cinematography ✅ Blood and Gore galore ✅ What else could you ask for in a great Faces of Death remake? Surprisingly strong film about the internet’s morbid fascination/apathy toward extreme violence. Definitely a new classic horror watch!
Morgan likedFaces of Deathi really liked the unique way they tied in the original movie to this one, i went in without knowing much about the plot so it surprised me i also thought margot being a content moderator was interesting the killer had BILLS TO PAY bro he was so good not perfect but fun

Faces of Death was an okay watch for me. The concept is definitely interesting, disturbing, and uncomfortable enough to keep you curious, but I wouldn’t say it completely lived up to its potential. There are some genuinely unsettling moments and a few scenes that make you wonder where the movie is…
Jake dislikedFaces of DeathThis was a joke right? For most of the movie I was bored and irritated by the terrible acting. But it hits a point that is so ludicrous that I was actively cheering on the death of everyone in this movie. This takes “main character in a horror movie makes bad choices” to an extreme. It asks you to…
Taylor Winters lovedFaces of DeathWow. I heard this was good, but I went in and was surprised at how much I loved this. Finally a killer who was smart. Darce was incredible in this role. margo was a little annoying but you needed her to be that way for the film to work. I loved the shots, the music, and the tension. It was…

7,5/10 The cast is soooo good and they CAN act so it’s a 10. The movie is good and love this type of genre. The gore and deaths are good but I'm not giving it a higher rating bc I think they could have go way deeper with the videos and and what human curiosity does causes, etc.
ChungiBoi is "meh" onFaces of DeathNot a bad film at all, but I usually reserve likes for films that stand out or that I’d enjoy rewatching, and I don’t think this applies. With that being said, Dacre is great in this and the commentary is done pretty well, though the third act has some major contrivances
Bre lovedFaces of Deathi had my gripes with it for a few hours after watching it but after thinking for a bit i feel like i just really loved this movie. i like that its got some originality and i like that its kind of a social commentary on desensitization in media towards human mortality.
