Eyes Without a Face
“Beautiful women were the victims of his fiendish facials.”
Dr. Génessier is riddled with guilt after an accident that he caused disfigures the face of his daughter, the once beautiful Christiane, who outsiders believe is dead. Dr. Génessier, along with accomplice and laboratory assistant Louise, kidnaps young women and brings them to the Génessier mansion. After rendering his victims unconscious, Dr. Génessier removes their faces and attempts to graft them on to Christiane's.
A deeply unsettling and tragically beautiful descent into obsession and disfigurement. It weaves a dreamlike, melancholic spell with its stark, poetic imagery and a pervasive sense of dread. The horror is both visceral and profoundly sad, lingering long after the credits.
