Movie Reviews of Faces of Death Collection (Vols. 1-4)
Movie Review: A Documentary and Horror Smash!!
Summary: 5 Stars
(...)
Ever since Faces of Death was first showed to the world it has become one of those few cinematic experiences that everybody has an opinion against; you either love or hate it. To the people who hate Faces of Death and then slag it off I believe you have some growing up to do. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you were about to watch it. Maybe you should consider to show some responsibility for your actions and then you might wonder what made you want to watch Faces of Death. What I don't like is when people critisise Faces of Death for being "inhuman" "Immoral" "vulgar" "this should be banned" "it represents a violent sickening society". One guy here puts it "life's example of moral decay". It's this last opinion which I have put which makes me believe people with opinions like this is life's example of moral decay, not Faces of Death. The reason why this is is because death fascinates all of us. And if you watch this documentary and then feel the need to make excuses that this would harm children and create murderers and rapists then can you at least question why you watched Faces of Death in the first place. It's people like you, one-star reviewers, that once said pornography would turn people into rapists, masturbation would turn people blind, horror films would turn people into psychopaths; despite that all these accusations have been proved the exact opposite. And please don't use children as an excuse to impose your own style of censorship upon us. You should be thankful, one-star viewers, that you have the right to view this. I think using children as an excuse against a film is just as bad as paedophilia and considering I was a victim by a paedohile when I was young I know what I'm talking about.
The Faces of Death boxset consists of real footage of mostly animals being killed and fake footage of humans being killed. You can easily tell which scenes are fake because the camera constantly jumps to another camera angle and so on to escape the effects. It reminds me of modern MTV style films with it's constant camera angle swapping. When you buy this boxset then it would be best if you watched "Faces of Death: Fact or Fiction" last. This way you can decide what scenes looked fake when you watch the Faces of Death series and then check if you're right when watching "Fact or Fiction". The most disturbing scene in the first Faces of Death, in my opinion, is the footage of air crashes. I thought people died in an air crash instantly and that no bodies were found intact! This scene got to me because I have a fear of flying. The other footage that I found disturbing was the footage of the electric chair. This was faked (I think!) and it is quite shocking. You can feel the pain the guy is going through just watching it. Faces of Death 2 is much more shocking and has less fake footage, but all the films in this boxset are done as a documentary and some parts are quite educational. I won't include scenes from these films in my review incase you'd like to see all the Faces of Death. But be warned, these films in parts will shock even the hardened gore fan and I consider myself to be a very hardcore gore fan with my collection of horror films.
Happy nightmares!
