2.0 out of 5 starsThe country of Africa!!!
By L.J.F.64 on 13 Mar. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A doctor takes us through his journey into the many "faces od death".

Mondo, shockumentary, mockumentary, call it what you want but 1979's Faces Of Death is probably one of the most famous types of this kind of picture. We start with the fake Dr Grosse talking direct to camera about his journey around the world seeing and dealing with the many types of death, it then changes into several clips of death/deaths. The clips are many and incredibly varied, from tribal, slaughterhouse, accidents to executions, the authenticity of the clips also wildly varies from the real- most of the accidents, the disasters and slaughterhouse, to the fake- the executions, animal attacks and beheading. Some of the clips are truly ridiculous, the spiritual rebirth at the end is pant-wettingly funny, as are the croc & bear attacks. The film does have a more than a few shocking scenes though, the dog fight at the beginning, the lady falling from the building, the body crushed under the lorry, autopsy scenes and the airline accidents with bodies lying everywhere will take a strong stomach to view. Even some of the fake scenes aren't an easy watch, the monkey brains, shooting of the family & the garrotting sequence's have been filmed well and had people fooled for years.

This is not a film for all tastes and viewer discretion is heavily advised, however if you can take it is an interesting watch, just don't take a lot of notice to what the good doctor says its mostly false and doesn't make a lot of sense- he said here in the country of Africa (obviously a lot of research went into this one). The film has been banned in many countries so it's unsurprising this made it onto the very first nasties list in 1983 and was successfully prosecuted more than once, but that's why I and many others have seen it.

1.0 out of 5 starsRidiculous and Offensive
By Derek Vinard on 5 Oct. 2015
Format: DVD
All of it is fake and I can't get over how obvious it is such as the so called real life footage of horrific incidents which are shown from different angles just like a film. Also the acting is very apparent. I don't need to explain it as its just so obvious because of what is said and the timing of it and so on. What really offended me wasn't the slaughterhouse footage though I found it anything but enjoyable, it was the actor pretending that eight months prior his son was killed by a car and his wife then took her own life. It was obvious he was lying and acting because he said after eight months he wa coming to terms with it. Wow. Talk about your all time rehab. He got over that in eight months? People lose family members to natural causes and struggle for a couple of years or so and he gets over seeing his son and wife die in eighth months? Does he genuinely not understand how offensive it is to sit in front of a camera and claim this happened to him? Not just to people it actually has happened to but to anyone at all, like me for one? On the extras a man said he's offended by the question of if its fake or not. I was losing my temper at this point, that there are actually people like this in the world who can act so idiotic and offensive and feel no remorse. People like that should just get the death penalty. They're as bad as the people running the slaughterhouse ( btw barnivore dot com for animal free alcohol). Another scene shows a man scooping up brains from concrete. So you just scoop it up? Any that's left just stays? We're supposed to believe this? People carrying out autopsies don't all wear gloves? They don't wear full body suits either, just aprons? You get the point. This is not a review but a public warning: go to the gym. Go to your local karate club. Do housework. Ride your bike. Ok? We straight? Good.

Faces Of Death Blu Ray Review

Distributor : Gorgon Video, US.

Well what can I possibly say about this film that hasn't already been stated somewhere else?
Probably not very much, so I think I will just stick to the facts regarding the blu ray release.

This is the US blu ray release put out by Gorgon Video. First off, the disc is not region locked so great news for those who have to worry about these sort of things as it will play on any blu ray player worldwide.

The film is presented in a 1080p 1.85:1 Anamorphic transfer which looks unbelievably good for this type of documentary film. Some print damage remains throughout, however I got the impression that this is supposed to be present in certain scenes and is also present in the original elements of stock footage used in the film.

The blu ray master is taken from a Japanese theatre print so is a little different to the regular version people have grown up with. The print being from a Japanese source, contains a fogging effect to some shots of genitalia present throughout the film. This should come as no surprise, as the Japanese seem always to have a problem with this type of thing. In addition, a seen involving a prison inmate being executed in a gas chamber is not present in the film. Apparently the explanation for this, is that the particular scene was not present in the original theatrical versions and was later added into the home video prints. The scene in question is however presented on the disc as a deleted scene.

The audio on the disc has 5.1 and 2.0 English options. The sound does seem a little tinny in parts but again I'm sure it is how the film was originally made.Read more ›

This movie is so misunderstood. In my opinion it's appeal was never meant to be simply a collection of gore clips to get drunk watch with your mates with. This is a documentary. Read more
