Faces of Death's Ghosts Haunt Our Social Media Age The 1978 film "Faces of Death" was a product of its time, a grotesque fusion of morbid curiosity and voyeuristic desire that reflected the era's fascination with death and the grotesque.
The recent reworking of this notorious video nasty by Daniel Goldhaber raises questions about our own age: what happens when we're no longer just consuming horror but creating it too?
The new film takes the original footage and weaves it into a more conventional digital age horror narrative, centered around Margot (Barbie Ferreira), a content moderator struggling to cope with her workload.
