Director: Daniel Goldhaber
Cast: Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler
Faces of Death is a 2026 American horror film directed by Daniel Goldhaber, starring Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery. A tense, modern thriller set inside the murky world of online content moderation, it reimagines the provocative cult title as a sharp critique of digital voyeurism and platform accountability.
What is Faces Of Death about?
When a content moderator working for a major video-sharing platform begins flagging disturbing uploads, she uncovers what appears to be an organized network trafficking actual footage of real deaths. What starts as a routine review queue slowly reveals layers of deception — corporate cover-ups, anonymous uploaders, and an increasingly blurred line between spectacle and evidence. Drawn deeper into the platform's hidden underbelly, she must decide how far she is willing to go to expose the truth, knowing that whoever is behind the footage is likely watching back. The film builds its dread through institutional horror rather than cheap shocks, asking who bears moral responsibility when violent content spreads in plain sight.
Cast & crew
Director Daniel Goldhaber previously drew critical notice for his feature debut and brings a methodical, atmosphere-first sensibility to this project. Barbie Ferreira leads as the moderator caught between duty and self-preservation. Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, and Jermaine Fowler round out the ensemble, while pop artist Charli xcx appears in a notable supporting role.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Faces of Death resonates on more than one level. Iranians abroad are acutely aware of how digital platforms can be weaponized — whether to suppress dissent or to circulate unchecked violence — making this film's central anxiety feel culturally immediate rather than purely fictional. The horror genre has long served as a vehicle for social commentary, and Goldhaber's approach fits that tradition. The film arrives with Persian subtitles on K-Time, making it fully accessible for Farsi-speaking audiences who prefer to watch Hollywood genre cinema in their own language.
