ColliderMaggie LovittApr 9, 2026
For all its visual polish and strong performances, Faces of Death remains caught between commentary and replication. It wants to critique our obsession with violence, but it can’t quite resist indulging in it, too. The result is a film that feels acutely aware of the cultural moment it inhabits, yet strangely hesitant to push beyond it. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJacob OllerApr 6, 2026
It’s a straightforward slasher with a tech-savvy twist, ironically not outlandish enough to stand out from the formerly forbidden footage filling our feeds every single day. Read full review

The RevealKeith PhippsApr 10, 2026
It’s not badly executed, but there’s nothing scary or clever enough to set it apart from similar films beyond the Faces of Death connection, a throwback meta cloak wrapped around a merely good-enough modern horror movie. Read full review

Wall Street JournalZachary BarnesApr 10, 2026
The film loses its edge as it proceeds, turning into something more generic, less credible, and overly explicit in its statement of themes. Read full review

Next Best PictureCody DericksApr 6, 2026
Despite being well shot and slickly constructed, “Faces of Death” doesn’t successfully bring the decidedly not-good but undeniably captivating spirit of the original film into the 21st century. Read full review

Slant MagazineRoss McIndoeApr 5, 2026
For a film that’s so well versed not only in the genre but in its tendencies to recreate and recycle itself, it’s disappointing to see Faces of Death do so in such slavish fashion. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckApr 5, 2026
It’s reasonably effective, with Ferreira appealing in the lead role and Montgomery very creepy as the copycat killer who would have benefited from a more wholesome media diet. Read full review

Screen RantGraeme GuttmannApr 5, 2026
Margot knows the dangers of social media – her backstory has shades of cliché, but it's still effective in pushing her down the rabbit hole that her coworkers' superficiality precludes them from exploring. That investigation involves a string of missing persons and a killer obsessed with the dark corners of the internet. The biggest issue with Faces of Death, though, is that it's just not all that dark down there. Read full review
