Details: At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Children of Paradise�s 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 (Judex), 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.
