Our friends at Shudder and IFC announced today that they just acquired FACES OF DEATH — the new film from CAM’s Daniel Goldhaber starring EUPHORIA’s Barbie Ferreira – we’re hoping it plays at Overlook Film Festival but either way we’re seated opening day!
TRAILER REACTION
—
Inspired by the legendary 1978 shocker of the same name, FACES OF DEATH is reimagined for a digital generation. Written by Mazzei & Goldhaber, based on The Gorgon Series FACES OF DEATH, the film stars Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Josie Totah (Saved by the Bell), Aaron Holliday (Euphoria, Cocaine Bear), with Jermaine Fowler (The Blackening), and Charli XCX (The Moment). FACES OF DEATH will be released theatrically nationwide on April 10, 2026.
In FACES OF DEATH, the exploration of the original film’s infamous “is it real or not?” conceit continues as a woman (Ferreira) working as a content moderator for a major video platform discovers what appears to be re-enactments of murders from the original film. In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fiction, or unfolding in real time.
“Growing up in a video store culture there are vivid memories of being terrified to even touch the original FACES OF DEATH VHS box. That legend haunted a generation, and bringing that fear back to audiences now is both deeply personal and an exciting full-circle moment. We’re in awe of Daniel Goldhaber reimagining of FACES OF DEATH. His take is unsettling, timely, and provocative, and we can’t wait to unleash it in theaters everywhere this Spring,” said Mark Ward, RLJE’s Chief Acquisition Officer, a division of IFC Entertainment Group.
