Pop star Charli XCX shares a gruesome snuff video with her coworkers in the new Faces of Death clip below.
The meta horror remake of the notorious 1978 faux documentary is in theaters now 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”), Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things”) Josie Totah (“Saved by the Bell”), Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), and Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You) 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 Greg Gilreath & Adam Hendricks of Divide/Conquer produce. Mazzei, Derek Bishé, and Rick Benattar serve as executive producers.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Smart commentary and a clever approach get Faces of Death off to a strong start, but it lacks the conviction to see its bolder ideas through to its forgettable and far too conventional end.”
Filmed back in 2023, Faces of Death is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, sexual content, nudity, language, and drug use.”
