I remember seeing this documentary back 1992 in the religion lesson. The handled theme was about death, dying, capital punishment and so on. Fortunately, we had a cool teacher who let us watch "Faces of Death", so this was my first contact with that sort of film. Some of my class mates walked out of the room while the film was running, to me it had the character of the news you see every evening on television, however I couldn´t not understand how somebody really can go out to the video store and rent films like "Faces of Death". It was strong stuff, hard to stand, especially for a 17 year old! Recently I heard that the most scenes are faked, but it doesn´t give a better impression to me... Anyway, this is the kind of movie where I draw the line: I have no problems in watching sick and disturbing horror films - as long as they are still movies! However, if you find it entertaining to watch real atrocities - get some help!!! (No matter if they are faked or not!)
