The Original Faces of Death: 30th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray)
The Original ‘Shockumentary’ Is Back With a 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray Disc It began as a graphic exploration of the one destiny we cannot escape. It would soon become the most controversial, critically reviled and fastest selling documentary in home video history. Parents tried to stop it. Video stores had to hide it. Yet across the nation, millions found ways to secretly watch it…if they dared. Renowned pathologist Dr. Frances B. Gröss is your guide to the most bizarre and grisly death scenes ever recorded, from executions, assassinations and mass murder to suicide, disease and disasters. Three decades later, is it hardcore gross-out, elaborate hoax or still the ultimate forbidden movie? One thing is certain: you will never forget the original FACES OF DEATH!

Wow, I saw about a 10th generation Beta tape of that. 
I wonder what the outtakes are. Deaths that didn't go 'right' the first time?

Excellent. A spider monkey spinning around the center of the table and beat to death... in HD. A person jumping to their death in HD.
Last time I saw Faces of Death was in high school, circa 1985 or 1986. Somehow, I think this film might have been better left to VHS and DVD.
Hmmm....

I'd rather watch 'adult entertainment' in HD.

Yep, I think the monkey one was the most disturbing. What people do to themselves and each other, who cares, a la the Darwin awards, but the monkey thing was disturbing. THe bear coming down on the guy in Yellowstone, THAT was Darwinism at its best.

I've never been able to understand why people want to watch this stuff. It's not that I think it's evil or that it should be banned - it's just... eeeuugh. I don't even want to watch those videos of people breaking their legs doing skateboard stunts; why the hell do I want to watch somebody in pain? And then why would I want to watch somebody get killed? Even someone I detest - it's profoundly disturbing.
I guess the violent video games I've played for a dozen+ years haven't desensitized me enough yet...
