I remember the original faces of death was really trending when I was in elementary school and the children would "smuggle" their VHS to each other to scare the shit out of the other children.

You’d think that a horror film like Faces of Death would at least have some decent kills, but even those are uninspired and are more straightforward than anything else. Faces of Death feels like a lazy reboot; controversy has been replaced with apathy, and a cast of characters and performances you want nothing more than to reach through your screen and slap the s**t out of. Even the film’s meta aspects feel shoehorned in just to get that forced meme reaction: Leonardo DiCaprio enthusiastically pointing at the screen, a moment that is met instead with dizzying eye rolls and extreme facepalming.
