This forbidden pursuit has driven Dr. Frances B. Gröss to the brink of madness, but in his obsession, he has amassed a uniquely comprehensive collection of films that depict life in its final, grueling moments. From the savagery of cold-blooded murder to the perverse realities of war, tragic accidents, and the everyday lives of those who collect, dissect, and bury the dead, this descent into morbidity lays bare a truth that all of us will one day face.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the most banned, censored, controversial, and notorious films ever made, FACES OF DEATH (1979) changed cinema forever. A surprise home video blockbuster that spawned three sequels, the film was immediately met with praise and condemnation, along with legions of fans and hordes of protestors. Skillfully combining grueling imagery depicting the stark reality of mortality, blended with cleverly staged, ultra-gory re-enactments of murders, suicides, executions, and more too horrible to imagine, Vinegar Syndrome Archive is excited to at last bring FACES OF DEATH to 4K Blu-ray newly restored from its long-lost camera original, and fully uncut for the very first time ever on disc; still as shocking now as it was nearly 50 years ago...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTWO-DISC (4K BLU-RAY\/BLU-RAY) COMBO PACK RELEASE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eNEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDOLBY VISION\/HDR PRESENTATION OF THE FILM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary with director Conan Le Cilaire, moderated by Michael Felsher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Buried Footage\" - newly discovered, never-before-seen outtakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Choice Cuts\" - an archival featurette with editor Glenn Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Death Makers\" - an archival featurette with effects creators Allan Apone and Douglas White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Many Faces of Death\" - scholars and genre experts examine the controversial origins and lasting cultural impact of Faces of Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 page perfect bound book with essays by Samm Deighan, David Kerekes and Stephen Thrower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolated music track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival outtakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VINEGAR SYNDROME","offers":[{"title":"4K UHD + BLU-RAY","offer_id":48720041378011,"sku":null,"price":64.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/409890_front.jpg?v=1777403109","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/faces-of-death-1978","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
