The Face Behind the Mask
“What fiendish fury turns man into monster?”
CrimeDramaHorror
A kindly, enthusiastic, newly-arrived American immigrant from Hungary is forced to turn to a life of crime after his face is badly disfigured in a hotel fire.
VIBE
A haunting, expressionistic descent into desperation. Lorre's performance is a masterclass in tragic isolation, making you feel the weight of his disfigurement and the suffocating grip of the criminal underworld. It’s a grim, atmospheric journey.
