A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Faces of Death was marketed as a real documentary at the time, and while the obviously fake parts in it have been unraveled over the years, it does mark a legendary moment in effed up cinema. Even though it wasn’t a genre-creating effort, it helped popularize the whole Mondo thing. You can also see the influence it had on future masters of the effedup, like Jörg Buttgereit. If you haven’t watched the series, it’s probably important to have it marked down 🙂
The film tries to treat its grotesque material with lightness and dark humour – for example, the killing of a rooster plays out against a version of “Old MacDonald…”. Some of the scenes like suicides or accidents might seem limp in the era of the internet, but they were probably shocking back in ’78.
first watch, decided to get into it after hearing about the upcoming remake (the plot for the 2026 film being centred around a social media content moderator sounds crazy interesting)
You know I gotta come rewatch this now that they’ve announced the remake coming out in April. They’d better not fuck this up.
Why the fuck would you leave me after last night? I found out im pregnant did you really have to abandon me like that atleast pay child support
I don’t understand how people can say this is one of the most disturbing movies of all time, I feel like they are just larping
shit，en
Deadly serious stuff, much of it bizarrely set to nice jolly music, but not a film to watch while you’re eating a pizza! Shocking scene at 29:28 as a tv journalist talks to a young girl about the horrors of Alligators, but she may be in more danger from the snake trying to escape from his super-tight trousers!
cool story bro
i forgot that this thing predates almost every gore fake documentary in the net, it was quite hard going throught the whole process but no so much since half of the movie material is based around aniaml cruelty, dominion already does a good job in covering that area( im impressed joaquin phoenix was one of the narrators in that film) but i aprecciated the work this director did, it goes so hard on me…im still eating meat but always keeping in mind that i dont always see where my dish is coming from, is like a really heavy dilenma and i’ve really feel sorry for animals by how death is portrayed is telling me everything, what is going around in the rest of faces of death? i dont give a damn right now, im kinda like ” INCREDIBLE, never gonna see it again” , i mean i like narration, B gross did a good work in telling the viewer the different perspectives that many countries give to death and how we human beigns do more bad than good in many parts, but yeah we are animals like the rest, just a very different species the camera work and the fake stuff is surreal… I REALLY FEEL BAD ABOUT THE MONKEY, the pure thing just died out of those nasty people, is very saddening but true at the same time, poor monkey( glad is fake) the music is ok tho, there are very good pieces, but not much of the whole… Read more »
The way death is portrayed in this movie seems almost nostalgic. This is definitely a classic!
I know its supposed to be in the style of a documentary movie, but the monkey brains part is complete bullshit, no one in the middle east does that shit, it is seen as haram so there no way they’d even eat it
You guys do realize this is a low budget movie right? They couldn’t afford realistic sculptures like that, I only know cuz I make them for a living, plus it’s illegal to film shit like this so of course they’re going to deny it
A classic film, I’m glad I had the chance to see it. I can agree, it’s quite outdated, and the editing/camera work is a product of its time. But it’s groundbreaking when it comes to extreme cinema history. I love the concept, with the narrator being fascinated with death, and all that comes with it, rather then being a senseless mixtape. Looking forward to seeing the second one~
I have the “Faces of Death” box set on VHS in perfect condition. It has “Faces of Death” 1, 2, 3, 4 and “Worst of Faces of Death.” I really liked them until I found out that it was all fake. I avoid all the “Traces of Death,” “Faces of Gore,” “Mondo Cane” and any other films that claim to have real death. I did like “Orozco the Embalmer” though.
It’s perfect.
Love it!, i remember watching those on VHS as a kid!
Samuel Berkowitz, the man who was cryogenically frozen, has been thawed by relatives and buried. The institute offered to preserve his head free-of-charge, but the family turned the offer down.
He wanted to defy mortality and witness the future, now not only is he rotting, he’s also wasted money that could be used in philanthropy for the livings’ sake.
If there is a Hell, I hope he’s burning in it!
titties on blood
I remember when I rented this (and a few other movies) at my local video store – on VHS! Man, how time surely flies.
death death death death death save the earth <3 death death death death death
Most of the stuff on here is fake and even the real stuff is hardly mind blowing. Traces of Death upped the ante a bit, but to see the proper footage one must delve into level 8 of the movie iceberg in the sewers of the dark web. There can be seen the worst of the worst and things that cannot be unseen. I did it one time and regret it to this day and never ever returned there again.
This was quite the trip.
This movie made me rethink my whole life and I don’t know why
holy shit the snake lost
I actually really enjoyed this film, it wasn’t really disturbing to me, more or less just showing what reality really is, people in first world countries have almost no knowledge or idea of what happens around other countries, same with the pollution thing, so so sad what people don’t know.
fake and gay. 9.5/10
2021 anyone ??? xD
Kinda corny at this point but some parts gave me nausea. Very fun!
FLUIDS of Death
Faces + Mondo series with Traces later was the idea. But knowing us by now :), this will take a while as we fill in other tastes too.
Totally agree with Elliot.
Mondo Cane and traces are fantastic social documents if not great entertainment. Best site on the www since sliced bread.
Nuff respect
Classic
Stan Brakhage’s ”The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes” still is a better choice though and filmed in 1971.
yawaaaaaaaaa
What a coincidence! I was just about to request this! The grand daddy of effed up movies – albeit some of it is fake, some of it is real. very, very real. Bwaahahahahahahahaaa!!!
