Details: At his secluded château 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. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features • Blood of the Beasts, Georges Franju’s 1949 documentary about the slaughterhouses of Paris • Archival interviews with Franju on the horror genre, cinema, and the making of Blood of the Beasts • Interview with actor Edith Scob • Excerpts from Les grand-pères du crime, a 1985 documentary about screenwriters Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac • Trailers • PLUS: Essays by novelist Patrick McGrath and film historian David Kalat
