It all sounds very impressive and very thoughtful. But they give the game away when they describe the film this way: “It is an exploitation of an iconic exploitation film.” Go to Full Review

It’s to the credit of Goldhaber’s film that “Faces of Death” is able to satisfy on a basic, audience-forward level even as its concept has clear priority over the more visceral expectations of its genre. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety 2h
A halfway clever retro slasher movie that, as directed and co-written by Daniel Goldhaber, actually has something on its mind. Go to Full Review

5/10
Nothing in the movie really warrants this level of caution. Instead, what it delivers is a well-directed horror thriller with too much on its mind. Go to Full Review

4/5
Quite whether fans of the original agree remains to be seen, but, when viewed as a serial killer horror akin to The Silence of the Lambs, Goldhaber’s Faces of Death works. Go to Full Review

I didn’t especially want a Faces of Death reboot at all, but given that one exists, I was hoping it would be more than it is. Go to Full Review
