What happens in the Faces of Death trailer?
The Faces of Death trailer, per The Hollywood Reporter, “revolves around a female moderator of a YouTube-like website whose job is to weed out offensive and violent content and who herself is recovering from a serious trauma, who stumbles across a group that is re-creating the murders from the original film. But in the story primed for the digital age of online misinformation, the question is: Are the murders real or fake?”
In addition to Ferreira and Charli XCX, the cast of the movie includes Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Jermaine Fowler, and Aaron Holliday. The screenplay was written by Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei.
The original Faces of Death was released in 1978. Directed by John Alan Schwartz, the movie sees a pathologist explore gruesome ways to die via footage that supposedly comes from all over the world. While most of the deaths are fake, it still sparked plenty of outrage, as the movie was banned and censored in many different countries.
“We wanted to make a film that would appeal as much to hardcore fans of the original as it would to somebody who is a more casual horror filmgoer,” Goldhaber said, via Variety. “The movie deals with real-world horrors in a way that’s still very elevated and entertaining, and it’s also very funny. It was really important to make something that honors the original, honors the mondo horror world that the original comes from. Part of what was exciting to us was to be able to make a wide release horror movie that’s about mondo horror and services that, but in a way that won’t alienate a broader audience, that can bring that kind of filmmaking to a broader audience without diluting it.”
Faces of Death arrives on April 10, 2026.
