"Faces of Gore" (1999) is a shockumentary video that depicts graphic footage of bloody, mangled bodies. Though death and violence is the focus of the video, no actual scenes of death are ever shown -- only aftermath/cleanup footage.

The video is divided into three sections: "Crash", "Suicide", and "Murder". The clips shown during the "Crash" segment are all the results of fatal and particularly violent automobile accidents. "Suicide" shows the bodies of people who have committed suicide in various ways, and "Murder" shows the bodies of murder victims. After these segments, there is a brief sequence about "Hollywood special effects" versus real death, but this is used mainly to plug Tjersland's other film, "The Necro Files" (1997).

A blurb on the video box reads "BANNED IN 37 COUNTRIES", a take-off on the claims made by its predecessor, "Faces of Death". This claim is unverified, although it is known that the film is banned in Germany.
