Faces of death for free to download!
A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2002 filmcritic.com
It's back to the slaughterhouse, the operating room, the autopsy
table, and the electric chair for some of the most gruesome, foul,
disgusting, and often-faked collection of "death scenes" ever put
together.
Not quite a snuff film, Faces of Death -- and its five sequels
-- is a supposed documentary but has often faced accusations of
being nothing but a sham, courtesy of some clever Japanese fans
of low-budget gore.

Now collected in one of the most disturbing box sets ever, the
first four FoD movies along with the 1999 documentary Faces of Death:
Fact or Fiction? and The Worst of Faces of Death (exactly what you
expect it is), this seven-hour collection is the definitive shock-cinema
set for every teenage boy who hustled his way to the video store
the day he turned 17 (or old enough to look 17) in the hopes he
could scar his brain forever with this junk. Consistently awful
yet bizarrely compelling, its narration by "Dr. Francis B.Gröss,"
actually Michael Carr, harkens back to the narration on a fourth-grade
filmstrip.
Indeed, it's just as stomach-turning today as it ever was, and
after seven hours of baby seal clubbings, Cambodian lepers, car
wrecks, PCP junkies, tiger attacks, and even a drawing-and-quartering,
I can safely say "I've seen it all." the Fact or Fiction? interview
is amusing in its own right, with director Conan le Cilaire (who
looks like a truck driver, hidden in shadow and with an altered
voice, presumably to protect his identity, presumably people are
desperately searching for him) finally admitting that certain scenes
-- namely those including the eating of animals -- are "simulated."
Whew! At least now I can sleep.
