Faces of Death premiered in theaters in 1978 and was widely criticized as tasteless and exploitative while still earning substantial box-office revenue. In 1983 it moved to VHS and Betamax, leading U.K. and Australian censors to demand edits or impose outright bans. The film’s content mixes genuinely real footage with staged scenes, presented through faux-scientific narration by pathologist Dr. Frances B. Gröss. Its reputation was amplified by the controversy, and it functioned as a grossout reel marketed as an exploration of death’s mystery and terror.
