10 Movies You Should Refuse To Watch On Moral Grounds

6. Faces Of Death

Faces of Death wanted to be notorious; it wanted to be a movie so depraved and offensive that people would talk about how depraved and offensive it was. Well, mission complete: this $35 million dollar Italian flick from 1978 is pretty much the feature length equivalent of that traumatising movie Alex DeLarge watches with his eyes wrenched open in A Clockwork Orange - it's essentially a series of horrifying clips depicting around the world awfulness, strung together and running for just under two hours. And what a terrible, draining experience watching Faces of Death is. There is no real narrative, after all - this picture literally consists of various people being killed in nasty ways, combined with actual archive footage of things like, you know, human beings burning alive during the Vietnam war, seals being clubbed to death, or a cyclist squashed on a road. It serves no clear purpose as either product of entertainment or history: it is just vile.
