Seven sequels followed over the next twenty-one years. ![]() It was written and directed by John Alan Schwartz, who used multiple pseudonyms for several crew jobs on the flick. In reality, most of the death scenes were staged, but no matter, the movie had its producers’ desired effect: outrage, revulsion, banning (although not in 52 countries, as hyped by the film’s makers), and, of course, a money-making hit that spawned sequels and imitators. The first Faces of Death was about a pathologist exploring gruesome ways to die via footage purportedly culled from around the world. ![]()
