Filmed back in 2023, the long-delayed Faces of Death remake is finally coming to theaters on April 10.
The news comes in the form of a teaser video for the meta take on the notorious 1978 mondo horror cult classic.
It revolves around a moderator of a video website whose job is to weed out offensive and violent content. Recovering from a serious trauma herself, she stumbles across a group that is recreating the murders from the original Faces of Death.
But in the story primed for the age of online misinformation, the question faced is: are the murders real or fake?
Daniel Goldhaber (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline) directs from a script he co-wrote with Isa Mazzei (Cam).
Barbie Ferreira (“Euphoria”), Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things”), Josie Totah (“Saved by the Bell”), Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You), and pop superstar Charli XCX lead the cast.
“Faces of Death was one of the first viral video tapes, and we are so lucky to be able to use it as a jumping off point for this exploration of cycles of violence and the way they perpetuate themselves online,” Goldhaber and Mazzei previously said.
Faces of Death is rated “R” for “strong bloody violence and gore, sexual content, nudity, language, and drug use.”
