Faceless After Dark

This movie actually may be THE absolute WORSSSTT movie i have ever watched in my entire life This is saying a LOT because i am someone who enjoys very movie, like I enjoyed Madame Web.

The use of modern gen z lingo is cringy causing me to not take the movie seriously whatsoever (and IM GEN Z) Nothing makes sense??? AT ALL The acting is horrible and all of the actions and saying of the characters like nobody acts like that in real life.

The actions of the main character are so random it's insane im so mad I paid 7 dollars to watch it on youtube. I just wanted to watch a good new horror movie and this was NOT it. So cringy that it's impossible to find it thrilling or frightening.

Not sure why the ratings for the movie are so high because it is genuinely bad.

Thank you for your time.

What a nice surprise this movie was. Now I am the number one fan of Jenna Kanell. Jenna Kanell co-wrote the screenplay of "Faceless After Dark " with Todd Jacobs, bringing her perspective to the story of Bowie, an actress on the rise. Bowie may face challenges, from autographing at conventions to navigating a closeted relationship and dealing with home invasions, but she's determined to carve her own path. And with carving her path, this is literally the case. The movie explores the realities of Hollywood, particularly for women, but with a twist! Well, with a couple of twists. When the pressure mounts, Bowie discovers a hidden strength and resourcefulness. Faceless After Dark is a story of resilience, finding your voice, and the power of creativity. Jenna Kanell delivers a captivating performance, making this a fun and empowering watch. Really a solid acting performance. Before I forget, she also co-produced the movie and obviously as a stuntwoman, is performing her own stunts. I am sold. Great movie, hence, the rating of 8/10. Well worth watching.

I haven't seen the Terrifier movies so I don't know much about Jenna Kanell. This movie popped up as something I might like and the cover and synopsis were intriguing and I saw it was a new release and figured what the hell. It's been awhile since I've done a review so why not get back at it with another indie horror movie fresh off the market? Faceless After Dark is a movie that lives in its meta world. I haven't seen Terrifier but I can assume that Jenna's decision to make her claim to fame a killer clown movie was motivated by that movie and so the disdain she feels towards everything seems all the more real for it. Everything feels real. The synopsis is a little misleading because it's only a small part of the movie that sets up the events for the real story to begin and I see why some would be bothered by that but once you look past it you get something even better that shouldn't be spoiled here. It's true that Bowie isn't a character that you like right away but everybody else seems worse and I think that might be the point and by the end of it you can see that this movie was a deeply personal one for its writer and star that proves as a catharsis. It isn't perfect but it has something important to say and I think the message was gotten across well, a message that should be heard. It's worth a watch and definitely not deserving of the hate it seems to be getting here. See for yourself.

Went into this not expecting a whole lot but mostly because I liked Jenna so much as Tara in Terrifier. Thought she was really great in Renfield as well. I decided not to read too much about this one because I do like to be surprised and MAN was I surprised. Jenna Kanell dominates this movie and takes it to places I don't think a lot of actresses can pull off these days. Her performance starts off light and fun but descends into some very dark territory that Jenna works to perfection. I was with her all the way as revels in choosing victims that I absolutely wanted to see her annihilate. It's a fun movie and Jenna is an absolute star!

"Faceless After Dark" isn't just a slasher flick; it's a warped reflection of fandom, fame, and the cost of artistic identity. Director Raymond Wood crafts a film that's equal parts terrifying and thought-provoking, anchored by a truly killer performance from Jenna Kanell. Who takes center stage as Bowie, a jaded actress haunted by her breakout role in a notorious killer clown movie.

The film starts off strong, establishing Bowie's disillusionment with fame and the obsessive nature of some fans. But it's when she's thrust into a terrifying situation - a home invasion by a deranged fan dressed as the killer clown from her film - that Kanell truly shines.

Her portrayal of Bowie's descent into paranoia and desperation is raw and captivating. We see a shift from initial defiance to a fight for survival. Kanell masterfully conveys this emotional rollercoaster, keeping you glued to the screen.

As the film delves deeper, the lines between reality and warped obsession blur. Kanell seamlessly navigates this complexity, hinting at a potential darkness within Bowie herself. This is where "Faceless After Dark" excels. It becomes more than just a slasher; it's a character study exploring the price of fame, the burden of expectation, and the lingering impact of trauma.

Sure, the deaths are brutal (and there are some truly creative kills here), but it's Kanell's performance that elevates the film. She's not just a scream queen; she's a powerhouse anchoring the narrative with her raw talent.

"Faceless After Dark" might not be perfect. The pacing can drag at times early on, but once the film lays its foundation, you become immersed in the raw intensity that keeps you glued to the screen.
