After reviewing the Traces of Death, personally I thought the Faces of Death was a whole lot better. The Faces of Death basicly goes through the different ways people or animals have died or been killed. I didn't find it scary, but one doesn't always realize how they could die. I believe viewing for some should be warned that this may not be suitable for some. The videos remind me of something that might be on the Discovery Channel, or parts could be on the unsolved mysteries. It wasn't bad..I would recommend it for those who are curious of how many ways one might be found dead, or die or be killed. If one is looking for a movie, this isn't it. If one is curious on autopsy, this video is far better than the video I got on autopsy
thru the eyes of a detective.

Don't buy this! I recently purchased this set, thank god I didn't pay full price! The videos have some real footage that makes you think about your own life, but most of the footage appears to be staged and is extremely old. Just before something happens the camera tends to looks away and comes back to show you somthing dead, but because you don't see it, it is easy to figure out that most of this is probably fake. Don't get me wrong, some of it is real and is sick, but it's not worth buying the whole set. Tape #5 & #6 contains some of the same footage from #3 and #4. Mostly shows dead animals from slaughter houses, cadavers, old police footage and is very slow. It's easy to see that many of the deaths are completely fake and were staged. Be prepared to fall asleep. It's not worth [price]! Spend your money on a something else, trust me!! Try buying one of the videos first (make sure it's not #1)and you'll see what I mean.

Unless you want to see fake death scenes dont waste your money on these tapes. 95% of the footage in these tapes are fake. If you want to see real death try Banned from TV 1 & 2.

When I was around 13 or so, a good friend of mine (who was in his 20's) rented Faces of Death (the original) and I was like, "God that's sick." But, I guess that was the point. Now, almost ten years later, I was blessed with the fortune of getting finding this boxed set. These movies ARE gross, sick, demented, and not for people who don't like being grossed out. But, they are also perfect for those who want to SEE what the rest of the world doesn't want you to see. They are also one of the coolest "cult" video series ever. You really can't go wrong with these movies, even if after the second movie they DO get kinda cheesey. But you HAVE to hear the "Faces of Death" song that is on the end of the 4th video. It is truly funny and plain out FOUL. The movies really are good, and they are finally available to the public without them being ripped off, badly dubbed, 20 year old copies. Enjoy.

Well, F.O.D is the most famed of it's kind, but the fact remains that most of the scenes are staged. Easy way to tell: doesn't it look a little too cinematic to be "accidental"? The autopsies, animal slaughter, and other stuff without a stupid explanation is the only real stuff here. Other mondo films are better(like Traces of Death), but this does remain one of my favs. Happy Hunting! P.S. Dr. Gross isn't a real doctor.

Have you ever seen something so shockingly horrible that you immediately wished you'd never seen it? Too late, it's in your head now and can't really be washed away.

That's what you get with Faces of Death. Plus, there's a good plenty of staged scenes that are being passed off as actual footage of something gruesome. It is gruesome, but still a hoax.

I saw this when I was in my early teens and guess what... those images still rattle around in my head to no good effect. Fill your mind with something that will benefit it.

this is the most abhorrent piece of crap that has ever been filmed. never have i seen the amount of useless trash that i have in this film. it is filled with boring narration and literally NO violence and NO gore. After hearing everyone talk about this video I figured it'd be great. I rented this video thinking that i would be disturbed or scared. Instead, I ended up feeling empty... bored... and a little poorer... if you want to do your deed for society... STOP talking about this video... and for god sakes... don't rent it.

Pure & utter crap! Don't waste your money. I bought my F.O.D. 1-6 set for $30, & that was $30 too much. If you want to see fake killings, buy a horror movie!

Whether or not the content of the movies are staged, there is no substitute for party films. These films are not only entertaining, but they are a reminder of the freedom that every American possesses to rent video captured executions if he pleases. For beautiful, for spacious skies, for crimson tinted executions.

It is gut wrenching and offensive but also an everyday part of life for billions. This video is a look into deaths face. I loved it because of the reality it displayed, which is extremely rare to find.
