Horror movies directed by Daniel Goldhaber

How Faces of Death scares: Faces of Death leans into a queasy, real-world kind of dread built around watching violence happen through screens rather than jumping out at you. The horror comes from the slow creep of desensitization and guilt as a character sifts through disturbing footage for work, so the tension sits in your stomach more than it startles you. Expect a grounded, human threat tied to killers and copycat violence rather than anything supernatural, with the camera not shying away from graphic content. This is less a fun scare and more an unsettling, thought-provoking watch that sticks with you after it's over.

How Cam scares: There's a slow, creeping sense of losing control over your own identity that builds through the whole film rather than hitting you in sudden shocks. The scares come from watching someone's online life and self get taken over piece by piece, which feels invasive and disorienting more than gory or violent. It stays close to a real, modern setting, but leaves just enough unexplained that you're never fully sure what kind of threat you're dealing with. This one sits with you afterward, especially if you spend a lot of time online, because it taps into a very current kind of anxiety about identity and control.
