Barbie Ferreira Stars in New 'Faces of Death' Horror Movie Opening Friday
Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery star in a new horror movie called 'Faces of Death' that opens in theaters Friday. The film is a remake of a notorious 1978 movie about a woman who works moderating violent videos online.
Barbie Ferreira, known for her role on HBO's 'Euphoria,' stars alongside Dacre Montgomery from 'Stranger Things' in the new horror film 'Faces of Death.' The movie opens in theaters Friday through Independent Film Company and Shudder.
The film is a modern remake of the controversial 1978 documentary. In this version, Ferreira plays a woman who works as a website content moderator and discovers a series of violent videos that recreate death scenes from a movie. Montgomery plays her co-star in what's described as a 'predator and prey' dynamic.
Directed by Daniel Goldhaber, the movie explores how characters respond to social media attention and online violence. Ferreira has said her character's wardrobe reflects the 'madness' her role experiences from exposure to disturbing content.
The original 'Faces of Death' was banned in many countries for its graphic content. This new version takes a meta approach to horror, examining how people consume violent content online today.
This marks a major movie role for Ferreira after her breakout on HBO's 'Euphoria.' The film tackles how social media and online content affect people's mental health, which connects to how many people spend hours scrolling through disturbing content daily.
The movie opens nationwide Friday. Critics and audiences will see how this remake compares to the original controversial film.
