Episode Description
Starring Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria, Nope) and Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things, Elvis), the new Faces of Death arrives in theaters April 10, 2026, reimagined for the digital age by director Daniel Goldhaber and producer/co-writer Isa Mazzei (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline).
The horror film follows a social media content moderator with her own inadvertent Internet fame (Ferreira) who discovers disturbing videos that may be reenactments, or something happening in real time. When she can’t ignore the videos any longer, she sets out to investigate and discovers a serial killer (Montgomery) thriving on his own social media fame.
The story builds on the original film’s infamous “is it real or not?” concept, placing it inside today’s nonstop content stream. And in this episode of Talking Strange, the cast talk with host Aaron Sagers about their exposure to the original taboo horror franchise, as well as internet horror, viral media, and the unsettling psychology behind watching the unwatchable.
The film also stars Josie Totah (Saved by the Bell, The Buccaneers), Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America, Sorry to Bother You), and Charli XCX (The Moment, Mother Mary).
Would you keep watching if you didn’t know it was fake?
