Geek Vibes Nation

Backed by an unhinged performance from co-writer and star Jenna Kanell and detailed direction by Raymond Wood, Faceless After Dark presents a solid revenge thriller replete with social commentary.

Rated: 7/10

This is the kind of work that could make horror recognized as high art.

Crooked Marquee

Wood's stylized touches don't make up for the thin plotting and nonexistent characterization.

Rated: C+

High on Films

Perhaps its hamartia is that it wishes to don too many masks, where only some aspects work at the expense of others, and Kanell’s raw, unhinged turn as Bowie is not enough to salvage the haphazard vision embedded forcefully into the narrative.

Rated: 2.5/5

Ready Steady Cut

Sometimes, in film, the messages can get blurry, and that’s what happens in Faceless After Dark. Surfaced as a story about the toxicity of fandom, it quickly turns into something much more.

Rated: 2/5

This movie was so bad I felt offended that I wasted over an hour of my life watching it and I felt the need to make a rotten tomatoes account and leave my first ever review. Even the lowest budget movie you can think of is better. This is literally the worst film I’ve ever seen, it’s so bad I’m impressed. If I could leave 0 out of 5 stars I would.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

in concept, it's great. in execution, it's a bit too low budget and understylized. the part of the film that looks the best and is most emphatic is the cover art.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Prince of Determination & Video Mogul B

The movie seems to be a new take on the whole "killer" trope with some scenes that truly amp up the anticipation and suspense while not relying too much on jump-scares and freaky noises. It was a good idea to watch before judging as the experience for me was a pleasant surprise. I also enjoyed the movie being a resemblance to the Stephen King classic "Misery"

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
