Faceless After Dark

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.

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.

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.

Meta horror film involves the co-star of TERRIFIER 1 and 2, Jenna Kanell, playing an actress who has breakout success with a starring role in a killer clown horror movie. However, she finds herself the victim of a crazed fan intent on recreating the killer clown movie's scenarios. It's not an especially clever film, but Kanell gets to show off more acting chops than she was allowed in the TERRIFIER movies, and FACELESS AFTER DARK also serves as something of a counterpoint to the misogyny of those films, as well as the nature of toxic fandom. However, Damien Leone does get a thank-you in the credits. Overall, FACELESS AFTER DARK is nothing to go out of your way to see, but it's not terrible.
