Eyes Without a Face

Eyes Without a Face (1960) starring Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli. After disfiguring his daughter in an automobile accident, mad surgeon (Brasseur) tries to restore her face by stealing faces from other young women. When one transplant fails, he vows to keep on trying until he succeeds. Horror film is only partly successful, as it is tripped up by flaws in logic of plot, and weak script. But certain scenes do engender horror, and the film is considered a classic in certain circles. In French, with English subtitles. The subtitles seem to be flawed. Grade: C+
