In 1978 the world was introduced to the gruesome film Faces of Death that looked to blur the lines between reality and fiction. I remember seeing this film as a kid and for years believed in the hype and that it was all real footage like most people that saw it back then. Through the years it spawned 7 sequels with more mixed real footage with the staged. Now they are stepping back into the world of the first film aptly titled Faces of Death starring Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX.

​

Faces of the Death follows the exploration of the original film’s infamous “is it real or not?” conceit continues as a woman 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.

While you will have to wait until April 10th to see the film in theaters, you can check out the new red band trailer and new character posters here now from IFC Films and Shudder.
