Plot Summary
At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Sends a chill that extends from the cheekbones through the eye sockets to the back of the skull.
Fresh: One of those rare horror films that induces discomfort by showing practically nothing.
Fresh: Like a nightmare that never ends, this is a vision of madness, loneliness and, yes, horror that, once seen, demands to be viewed over and over again. It is that haunting, and that good.
Fresh: A masterpiece of poetic horror and tactful, tactile brutality.
