FACELESS

FACELESS is a big-budget Eurosleaze take on horror classic EYES WITHOUT A FACE from prolific genre madman Jess Franco (VAMPYROS LESBOS)—and it's just as great as you'd imagine. A depraved story of disfigurement, dismemberment, libidinous brutes, Paris discos, face-ripping, throat-stabbing, and eyeball-piercing, the movie features starring roles from Helmut Berger, Brigitte Lahaie, Caroline Munro, and Telly Savalas (!). This unapologetically graphic horror-shocker has been restored in 4K from the original negative by Severin Films.

“A surprisingly sturdy '80s Jess Franco that hits a sweet spot between the Franju pulp cloth, woozy giallos, and Law and Order SVU.” – Jake Isgar

“EYES WITHOUT A FACE is of course the key text from which all Franco's cinema came, so it makes sense he get to do its aesthetical autopsy. A movie of images about images, it is more distant less delirious than most of his work, almost analytical (maybe it is the much bigger budget) but every bit as sadistic and mad, kind of what a DePalma flm would be like if he was willing to live among the trash instead of paying dutiful visits once in a while.” – Felipe Furtado
