Faces of Death 2026

You're telling me no one recognised any of the missing people in the videos? Ok so this movie is not bad. It's just fine. It's actually got some clever ideas. The risks of spreading online content even though you're trying to stop it and the dangers of these algorithms that push the horrible stuff to the top. Add some great performances by Dacre Montgomery and Barbie Ferreira, a tight 90 minute runtime and you should have a banger, but it's not. Meta movies can be fun to watch, I'm thinking about Scream for example, but Faces of Death is too on the nose with its meta commentary. There is a scene where Arthur goes on a rant about remakes and I could feel my eyes roll back in my skull. More importantly though, I couldn't buy this world that is supposed to be a 1:1 of ours. The entire film revolves around the fact that people can't figure out if Arthur's home videos are actually real (or if they care), but wouldn't it be clear they are real when one involves a news anchor? Or even just a missing person? Maybe it's my fault for trying to find logic in this movie but I couldn't help it. Good movie for a party watch but I don't think this one is going to stay in our minds for long, it won't for me.
