Reviews
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
jeffketvirtis666 if i could id give this a 666 out of ten, anyhow....if you don't like this then you are normal. i am not and think this is a great (horrific) depiction of what could happen to us. I've seen up to IV and all are morbid master pieces...the other ones include glorious death metal/grind gore which i also enjoy. we shall all die and some of us shall die very, very, gruesome violent chaotic moronic disgusting deaths. a lot of us humans will also come into contact with hospitals via terrifying sadistic injuries. those stupid shows on true TV and stuff like that that claims its "worlds wildest videos" does not have anything on the wildness and bizarre images contained in this video. its not a movie and its not a documentary its just pure unadulterated death and human destruction. and if you are at all up set by things that happen in real life then stay away in your peaceful, ignorant world and leave the death to us. only black is true, only death is real!
peter_bark_fan I do think that it is extremely important people know exactly what they are about to see. People who watch this, are not watching it because they are disturbed human beings.Well, at least I am not. It is just like when you see an accident on the road. You may try to hide it, but most people want to see the dead body. Thats what this is. Yes, some scenes may be disturbing, but some people watch this stuff, and afterwords they feel like they have conquered their fear of death. All the things in this movie are real life, and I think its healthy to see it, rather than pretend this stuff doesn't happen. I recommend this to people who are fascinated with extreme human behavior, and extreme situations.
jklein8787 Forget Faces of Death, this tape is all real. Very hardcore and graphic. Images of Vic Morrow's death, suicides, car accidents, abortions, nose jobs, firing squads, and finally R. Budd Dwyer pulling a nice gun. R Budd Dwyer was a senator or a congressman who blew his brains out on national. That is really one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen. And we get to see it non stop in various camera angles. The metal music is great but the narration is almost laughable and too over the top. Still, if you are looking to be grossed out or just seeing what can shock you, rent this tape.
Cowman Adequate compilation of grotesque archive footage, including actual scenes of murder, suicide, animal attacks, surgeries, autopsies, and (unfortunately) a whole lot more. This poorly edited and atrociously narrated tape is a real endurance test for anyone who's never seen this kind of imagery, and despite its many negative points, it certainly succeeds where FACES OF DEATH doesn't: it's all 100% real. This particular volume features former Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer blowing his brains out on live television, a male to female sex change operation, Pit Durnet being eaten by lions at a drive-thru safari in front of his shocked family, and among other things, a pig being burned alive with a blowtorch. Quality entertainment for the entire family!
