Faces of Death

The film

The real review

This is a divisive remake where the original concept gets more praise than the execution. The idea of Barbie Ferreira's Margot Romero, a content moderator, stumbling upon a series of real-life recreations from a notorious film is seen as a sharp, modern hook, which is why the originality scores well. But the story itself is widely criticized as thin and messy, dragging down the experience despite solid turns from Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery's Arthur. A handful of viewers find the pacing a total slog, and other cast members like Jermaine Fowler's Josh or Josie Totah's Samantha barely register. It's a film people are more intrigued by than satisfied with.
