Synopsis

Faces of Death V, released in 1995 and featuring Michael Carr, is the fifth installment in the controversial documentary-style horror series known for its graphic and unsettling content.

While it operates within a niche horror subgenre, Faces of Death V appeals primarily to audiences interested in morbid curiosities and shock cinema rather than traditional narrative storytelling.

Reviews

Faces of Death V has received largely negative reviews from critics and general audiences alike, reflecting the film's controversial nature and the niche appeal of its content. On IMDb, the movie holds a low rating of 2.9/10, indicating widespread dissatisfaction among viewers. Many reviewers criticize the film for its gratuitous shock value and ethical concerns surrounding the footage presented, with the majority highlighting its disturbing nature and lack of artistic merit. Critics from sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic do not list scores for this installment, which is common for niche shock documentaries, but user reviews echo the sentiment of discomfort and criticism over the film's tasteless approach. Some viewers acknowledge the film's place in the history of shock cinema and its impact on the genre, but overall it is seen as exploitative rather than thought-provoking, with few redeeming qualities beyond curiosity and notoriety.
