Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei are longtime collaborators who have worked together across three feature films, CAM, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, and now Faces of Death. The film is a remake of the 1978 film, which spawned significant controversy for its grotesque depictions of death scenes, and the lore surrounding whether they were real deaths turned the film into a cult-followed franchise.

The 2026 edition stars Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX. We are joined by the film's Director/Co-Writer, Daniel Goldhaber & Co-Writer/Producer, Isa Mazzei, to discuss their take on interpreting the source material in a contemporary landscape. The pair also provides a behind-the-scenes look at some of the film's most notable choices in cinematography and art direction. 

Faces of Death is having its World Premiere at Beyond Fest on April 5 and will be in theaters on April 10 from IFC and Shudder.
