The Film Society featured the movie Eyes Without a Face, a French horror movie from 1960. It takes place in Paris, and stars Pierre Brasseur, Edith Scob, and Alida Valli. This movie is not rated because it was released 8 years before the rating system was created. The general consensus is that it should have a PG-13 rating.
In this movie, Doctor Génessier accidentally disfigured the face of his daughter Christiane. He tries to restore her face by surgically removing the faces of women who resemble her and attempts to transplant them onto her. His attempts have been unsuccessful for a while. Several investigators have become suspicious of the disappearance of so many similar looking women. Will the doctor be able to restore his daughter’s face before he gets caught?
One great thing about this movie is that it’s very frightening, with some very scary imagery and suspense. Another great thing about this movie is that the actors gave great performances, and I really felt like they were getting into character.
I really like the movie, and it’s very interesting and suspenseful down to the final scene, and I would definitely recommend it to people who like horror and suspense.
Based on the fact that this movie accomplished frightening people, I give it a 9/10 rating.
