Adaptation of the eponymous novel by Jean Redon (1959), Eyes Without a Face embodies an essential reference in horror cinema. Behind the surgeon's increasingly insane experiments, appears the unconditional love of a father who borders on vanity and madness. As for the white mask of the captive Edith Scob, it will have found particularly formidable heirs, from Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) to Michael Myers (the Halloween saga) and Henry Creedlow in Bruiser by George A. Romero.
