Synopsis:
"Come Face To Face With Evil
Beautiful women are violently abducted and kept
hostage in a covert clinic where Dr. Flamand (Helmut
Berger) is conducting a series of grisly skin graft
experiments that leave unwilling human guinea pigs mutilated
and dead! When a powerful industrialist's (Telly
Savalas) fashion model daughter (Caroline
Munro) goes missing, Detective Sam Morgan (Chris
Mitchum) uncovers clues that lead him to Dr. Flamand's
secret hous of surgical horrors! What sick, sadistic obstacles
of horror will Morgan face and who will survive the Doctor's
slashing scalpel and his homicidal hulk henchman?"

My oppinion:
I'm always excited when I get my hands
on a Franco movie I haven't seen, and Faceless turned out
to be Jess
Franco at his very best! It has got it all: Gore,
sleaze, comedy, fistfights, a mad German surgeon, some brilliant
characters and sexy girls. Even the story is interesting,
the acting is (mostly) good and to top it off, it even looks
pretty good, with nice sets and photography. The gory scenes
were really great too. You get a needle in the eye scene,
death by drill and best of all; the scenes on the operating
table were just brilliant. The private investigators fistfight
with Dodo was very memorable as well. If it hadn't been for
the sleazy scenes, I'd have never guessed this was a Franco
film.
I really can't think of anything not to like about this one.
When I'd finished watching it, I had a big smile on my face!
If you're a Franco fan, I'm sure you'll love this one, and
I even think you'll like if you're not a fan of his other
work.
Highly recommended!
My rating:
