Faces of Death arrives exclusively in theaters on April 10, 2026, reexamining the controversial legacy of the original film’s “is it real or not?” premise for a digital-age audience.
Directed by Daniel Goldhaber and written by Isa Mazzei and Goldhaber, the film centers on a content moderator played by Barbie Ferreira. While reviewing graphic uploads for a major video platform, she encounters what appear to be staged recreations of murders linked to the infamous original film. As she digs deeper, the line between performance and real-world violence begins to blur.
The cast includes Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, with Jermaine Fowler and Charli XCX.
Faces of Death aims to explore questions of authenticity, spectacle, and responsibility in an era where footage can circulate globally in seconds. The film opens only in theaters on April 10, 2026.
