We have a new look at “Stranger Things” actor Dacre Montgomery in Faces of Death, a meta horror remake of the notorious 1978 faux documentary, courtesy of Collider.
Montgomery’s sinister red eyes match those of the masked madman we saw a glimpse of in the trailer. Could he be behind the killings? Find out when the film hits theaters April 10 via Independent Film Company and Shudder.
Continuing the exploration of the original film’s infamous ‘Is it real or not?’ conceit, the reboot follows a woman working as a content moderator for a major video platform who discovers what appears to be re-enactments of murders from Faces of Death.
In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fiction or unfolding in real time.
Barbie Ferreira (“Euphoria”), Josie Totah (“Saved by the Bell”), Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You), and pop superstar Charli XCX also star.
Daniel Goldhaber (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline) directs from a script he co-wrote with Isa Mazzei (Cam).
Legendary Entertainment, Don Murphy & Susan Montford of Angry Films Entertainment, and Adam Hendricks & Greg Gilreath of Divide/Conquer produce. Mazzei, Derek Bishé, and Rick Benattar serve as executive producers.
Filmed back in 2023, Faces of Death is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, sexual content, nudity, language, and drug use.”
