Gröss is now no more. However, his esteemed and quite enthusiastic colleague, Dr. Louis Flellis, himself fascinated with what became Gröss' life (and death) work, has dutifully maintained the same intellectual discipline. Here, Flellis gleefully presents another, even more outrageous series of shocking and tragic case studies (not sparing his own professional opinions on these subjects) in his own detailed examination of the horrific ending chapters of human mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth and final shot-on-film entry in this notorious and unlikely hit franchise, FACES OF DEATH IV was the only release in the series to receive a traditional, national theatrical release in the United States. Produced nearly a decade after the shocking original film, and well after the first three volumes had gained cult infamy and outrage on home video, this installment offers the weirdest, wackiest, and most blatantly unbelievable demonstrations of the demise of countless unlucky souls. A product of its time, the film underscores a shift from the stark, seemingly sincere ethnographic and political surveys of the first three entries into a more classic exploitation style marked by a wicked, gonzo wink back at the viewer. Vinegar Syndrome Archive is excited to bring this altogether distinct and charged look at the many \u003cem\u003eFaces of Death\u003c\/em\u003e to 4K UHD and Blu-ray, newly restored from its original negative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003edirected by: Susumu Saegusa, John Alan Schwartz, Andrew Theopolis\u003cbr\u003estarring: James B.
