Follows the same pattern of the other Faces of Death movies. In this one we see many staged and not so staged looking deaths ranging from bungee jumping accidents and magic tricks gone bad.

Really Surprised!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I thought that Faces of Death 4 was quite a bad horror film. It Follows the same pattern of the other Faces of Death movies. In this one there are many staged and unstaged looking deaths ranging from bungee jumping accidents and magic tricks which have gone bad. It was mostly the same type of video footage as in the the other films, although this copy that i own is an uncut version. I found this one to be a much better film than the last one as it contained a bit more interesting footage in it. I would not recommend these film to a lot of people as they contain quite graphic images that some viewers may not be able to watch. 3/10
The fourth installment of the "Faces of Death" series arrived on the heels of tragedy: Dr. Francis B. Gross, the brand's original narrator, expired during pre-production -- "driven mad," it is reported, "by the desire to determine the cause of his own death." In his place, the eminent necrologist Louis Flellis performs admirably. An grisly subway accident prompts the host to rail passionately against those who would champion life's beauty..."I just show these friends of mine some of these pictures -- that usually shuts them up."Flellis also provides thought provoking interpretations of the Second Amendment and the dining practices of Oriental peoples. Those of you who were stimulated by the first three episodes shall not be disappointed. A solemn guarantee.
Mindless direct-to-video continuation of the "Faces of Death" series, basically this is just a remake of the highlights from the first movie, but this time there is a new narrator in the bald, bug eyed "Dr. Louis Flellis" talking about his obsession with death and the afterlife all the while sitting in front of a bright glowing lava lamp(!). Did the original narrator really die, like it says in this movie? Or did he just not want to do another sequel and this is just part of the story? The guy in the auto yard that supposedly had his leg severed when a car fell on him doesn't make any sense: wouldn't the car have fallen on top of him, crushing his entire body, not just his leg? I also liked the mental patient that was wearing a bright yellow jumpsuit with the word "FELON" clearly written on the back of it.Curiously, the thief that was locked in the airtight bank vault for over 40 hours and supposedly suffocated also looked strangely like this series' writer/ director/ producer etc. John Alan Schwartz. Can it be another one of his cameos? Who knows?
I recently purchased a box set that had the 1st 4 Faces of Death in it yes, it is corny and mostly faked, but I must admit, the ending song in Faces of Death IV was actually pretty good, in a corny kind of way. The lyrics were good, and the overall song (though it is played over a scene of dead bodies as the result of a bandstand collapsing, which does make it a little tasteless...even if these supposed dead bodies do look very fake), was very well sung.Overall, besides the song, FOD IV is the weakest one in the series in my opinion.
