What Is the Original Faces of Death About?
Set in a documentary-style format, the movie told the story of a pathologist Dr. Francis B. Gröss (Michael Carr) who becomes obsessed with the transitional moment between life and death. As if he was some sort of twisted Batman villain, Gröss continues to narrate disturbing images of corpses and animals that are no longer alive, stating that humans are the only species that kill for greed. While this might not be one of the most creative uses of the concept of death in Hollywood, it certainly was an interesting character study. It remains to be seen what Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery will do with the story, as they have both proven to be versatile actors.
