Faces of Gore

FACES of Gore (1999) is a shockumentary video that depicts graphic footage of bloody, mangled corpses. Though death is the focus of the video, no actual scenes of death are ever shown -- only aftermath/cleanup footage.

The video is divided into three sections: Crash, [...], and [...]. The clips shown during the Crash segment are all the results of fatal and particularly violent automobile accidents. [...] shows the bodies of people who have committed [...] in various ways, and [...] shows the bodies of [...] victims. After these segments, there is a brief sequence AbOUT "Hollywood special effects" versus real death, but this is used mainly to plug Tjersland's other film, The Necro Files (1997).

A blurb on the video box reads "BANNED IN 37 COUNTRIES", a take-off on the claims made by its predecessor, Faces of Death. This claim is unverified, although it is known that the film is banned in Germany.
