I had lonnnnnng ago forgotten this movie even existed but then it turned up viewable for free recently on a streaming app. And I was like, heyyyyyyy, wasn't Faces of Death this super scary VHS movie from a million years ago I used to see at the video rental store but wouldn't dare to watch? But now I thought (out of mildly piqued curiosity) that I'd give it a go, all these decades later.
I didn't complete watching but a small portion of the movie before bailing. Once I realized graphic animal cruelty and animal death was going to be shown, that's it, I was done.
It was a momentary lapse of reason to think that I could watch this kind of unblinking and sordid expose of violent deaths of both humans and animals. It was more like okay, so what was the fuss about this movie all those years ago?
Reading some of the reviews and details of this movie on here, I realized I made the right decision to abandon watching this movie quickly. I'm proud to say I don't have the stomach or soul for this kind of movie to be EVER considered to be "entertainment." Cheers to those of us who actually find the suffering and death throes of other living beings is not at all good for our minds or hearts, and we aren't so bored or jaded that we want to go that far to be "entertained."
What was real? What was faked? Doesn't matter, don't want to see or know.
