In 1978, horror cinema took a turn into much, much darker territory with the release of Faces of Death<\/a>. Helmed by John Alan Schwartz, the pseudo-documentary both scared and scarred viewers, who followed along with a pathologist (Michael Carr) as he rolled the footage on multiple stomach-churningly gruesome deaths. The movie faced plenty of pushback, as while most of the scenes were staged, some were not and actually featured real-life deaths and their aftermath. Now, nearly 50 years after the original movie was the talk of the town, filmmaker Daniel Goldhaber is bringing a new version of the old, traumatizing classic to the big screen. Aptly titled Faces of Death<\/a>, the film will follow in the brutal and vomit-inducing footsteps of the title that came before it. Today, as part of Collider\u2019s Exclusive Preview<\/a> event, we\u2019ve got a first-look image showcasing the carnage that will go down when the title arrives in cinemas on April 10.<\/p>\n

Goldhaber\u2019s Faces of Death won\u2019t be a direct remake of the original, but will instead take on a face of its own. Pulling things into the modern age, this time around, audiences won\u2019t follow along with a pathologist, but will instead watch as an online moderator doing her job to flag violent or offensive content stumbles upon a group who appear to be re-enacting the original movie\u2019s killings. Boasting an all-star cast, the film features the talents of Barbie Ferreira<\/a> (Euphoria), Dacre Montgomery<\/a> (Stranger Things), Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America), Charli XCX<\/a> (The Moment), and Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear). Our exclusive new look at Faces of Death sets up an unsettling trip to the movies. In it, we see Montgomery\u2019s character with his hair slicked back, looking incredibly sinister thanks to some red contacts in his eyes.<\/p>\n

No stranger to taboo subjects, Faces of Death is far from Goldhaber\u2019s first eyebrow-raising feature-length project. The director took his first foray into the world of filmmaking with 2018\u2019s Cam, a psychological thriller that uncovered the darker side of the internet while mixing in supernatural elements. After that, he adapted Andreas Malm\u2019s 2021 novel How to Blow Up a Pipeline<\/a> into a big-screen production in a 2022 vehicle that starred Ariela Barer, Lukas Gage<\/a>, Kristine Froseth, and Forrest Goodluck. Faces of Death marks a reunion between Goldhaber and his co-scribe, Isa Mazzei, with the two previously pairing up on Cam.<\/p>\n
