Gorily gruesome, coldly calculating, and unapologetically dark in tone, Eyes Without A Face (1960) delivers a deeply unsettling experience, sure to inflict long-term cerebral scars.
I've seen plenty of classic horror movies down the years, but only a few films have tormented my mind past the end credits like Eyes Without A Face.
Thanks to its chillingly oppressive mood, graphic scenes of unsanitized gore, and brutally cold-blooded villains, this creepy French language horror flick will haunt you long after the title credits have ceased.
When a near-fatal car accident leaves a girl badly disfigured, her father hatches a sinister ploy to recraft his daughter's previous appearance using the facial skin of innocent victims.
Containing timely themes and poetic chimes concerning skin-deep beauty and the pursuit of aesthetic perfection, Eyes Without A Face offers a harrowing window into the wicked world of deadly obsession.
Expect a series of shockingly stomach-churning moments sure to enlist shivers, combined with a bleakly stale atmosphere saturated in nerve-shredding tension.
