BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Cowman Those looking for the history of the notorous FACES OF DEATH series or an explanation of the controversy regarding the validity of its footage--don't be fooled. FACES OF DEATH: FACT OR FICTION? doesn't tell you anything you don't already know. FOD director John Alan Schwarz (who insists on using the pseudonym Conan Le Cilaire) and the woman interviewing him carefully tiptoe around the main purpose of this tape, constantly becoming sidetracked with unfunny anecdotes, completely unrelated and long-winded rants, clips from the series itself, and sometimes flat-out lies about the FOD films. FACT OR FICTION? is not informative in the least, and resembles more of a promotional tool for the now-defunct series than it does an actual documentary about it. And with an appallingly hammy performance by the supposedly cancer-ridden "Dr. Louis Flellis", as well as end credits attributed to names like Richard Head and Johnny Getyerkokov, you can't help but feel insulted, disappointed, and ripped off.
Andy-422 I haven't seen the faces of death series, though being 28, I grew up hearing about them from friends, and the mystery has always remained. I thought this might be a good explanation of the series - I was wrong. However, I should have known that it would be a waste of time, since it was made by the same people who made faces of death. Adding to the comments of others, I have to ask, what is the deal with that horrible "Doctor" actor? Is this thing tongue in cheek, or are they really assuming the audience is so stupid that we won't see through this?If you want a good documentary, watch PBS or Discovery.If you want a good fake documentary, rent Spinal Tap.
Afracious This is an interview with the creator of the original Faces of Death, which doesn't really explain anything, only what we already knew, it was faked or 'simulated' as Conan Le Cilaire tells us. He appears under a dark shroud and with his voice distorted, and explains how the scenes were simulated. Also a very amateur and simpering actor plays Dr. Louis Flellis, who tries to throw some light on the film, but fails miserbly.
Magnum-9 I purchased this out of excitement that I would finally learn the truth to the controversy around the series' validity. Man, what a disappointment! They only divulge about three scenes, and pack the rest with filler, such as stock footage from the other films, and stupid commentary by horrible actors (notably Dr. Louis Flellis). Don't bother to waste your money like I did. You're better off reading the various online critiques on the films' falsity. You'll get much more info that way.
