Eyes without a Face
Guilt-ridden after recklessly crashing his car and leaving his daughter severely disfigured, celebrated plastic surgeon Dr Gennesier becomes obsessed with restoring her beauty by transplanting a new face onto her mutilated features. Aided by his devoted assistant Louisa, young woman are lured back to his home to become unwitting 'donors' in his horrific procedures. Although too much for many critics of the day to stomach, Franju's masterpiece is now considered to be one of the greatest, most influential and disturbing horror films ever made.

Don't believe the hype
Maybe the story is interesting and some moments are quite good, but let's not get carried away here. This film moves at a glacial pace, and as it's less... read more »

Fairly interesting story but not realised to its full potential here.
Unfortunately, this film fell below my expectations.

Genuinely horrific art film

You can see where he gets that Puss in Boots swagger. Born in Malaga just over 51 years ago, Banderas was brought up in a conservative household. His father was in Franco’s Civil Guard, his mother was a schoolteacher. Both were practicing Catholics. Antonio rebelled and joined a theatre company as a teenager (apparently he was inspired...
