FILM 15
FILM - Faces of Death
PREMISE - A 'mockumentary' hosted by Dr. Francis B. Gross, a coroner. He is trying to show you the different 'faces' of people while dying. There are faked scenes of people getting killed intermixed with footage of real accidents. There are executions by decapitation (in an Arab country) and the electric chair. One scene shows a group of tourists in Egypt smashing a monkey's head while still alive and eating its brains. There are shots of animals eating people and satanic orgies using dead bodies. There is a segment that deals with an alligator that accidentally entered 'residential' waters. The local warden goes in his boat to get the crocodile back into the sea when he accidentally falls over and becomes gator bait. The film ends with news clippings of people jumping off buildings and major
ANTAGONIST - N/A
BLOOD AND GORE - Ugh! Good luck eating meat again.
SCARES - N/A
REVIEW - A horror film podcast I listen to said that if I had never seen this film then I shouldn't be listening to it. I am sure back in the early 80's this was cool, secret and taboo thing to see. In this day and age with the internet and youtube this stuff is so tame and boring to the point where this film is no longer relevent. Did I mention it is also hokey and boring. The first 40 min. PETA should use to show the horrors put upon animals. Slaughter houses are prevelant throughout the beginning. Now knowing that most of this stuff was recreated or fake dampens the matter that this film is shit. If there is anything positive about this it would have to be the whole 70's look and feel which had me nostalgic for the show In Search Of... I give this film a 2 out of 10.
