You can just stream this off Netflix instead of going out.

Also, it's a pretty crappy "documentary".

When I worked at the Jackpot mini-mart in Colfax, the owner refused to stock certain video tapes for rental on the basis of obscenity. One of the most popular video tapes in stock was the "Faces of Death" series.

There is a huge urban myth built up around morbid fascination regarding "snuff" films. But that urban myth is not made of cotton candy.

There really are people who would rather watch someone getting torn to pieces by machinery than to watch lovers in an intimate moment. And they show this stuff to their kids.

These are conservative family values expressed in their choices of viewing material. Pretending this does not exist just closes your eyes to the true nature of some of your most terrifying neighbors.

Ugh, Faces of Death.

Nicholas Cage is a shitty actor (only exception: Raising Arizona, in which he is brilliant)

Cage was pretty good in Adaptation too.

Please wait...
