Faceless

(Jess Franco; 1987)

(Media Blasters / Shriek Show)

Beautiful women are violently abducted and kept hostage in a covert clinic where Dr. Flamand is conducting a series of grisly skin graft experiments that leave unwilling human guinea pigs mutilated and dead. When a powerful Industrialist’s fashion model daughter goes missing, Detective Sam Morgan uncovers clues that lead him to Dr. Flamand’s secret house of surgical horrors.

Franco has done well on this one. Plenty of gore and T&A abound to flesh out the excellent story and performances all around. Some of the gore effects are bad but the overall effect is as convincing as it is imaginative. Plus the pseudo lesbo sex doesn’t hurt at all. Franco haters take note! Recommended.

Good sound quality.

An excellent print. Widescreen
