enduring, accomplished

It’s a fine B movie, but not worth the $30 list price.

It’s not a masterpiece but it certainly isn’t forgettable.

Has a baroque beauty rarely seen in the horror genre...the haunting final images are worthy of Poe or Cocteau.

Eyes Without a Face has the staging and rhythm of Noir, and, up until one incredible scene, employs horror with implication and ambiance.

[Director Franjau] concentrates on weaving an incredibly frail spell and keeps it wafting in just the right spaces throughout the film; the beautiful black-and-white, Cinemascope cinematography helps a great deal.

Franju conjures images -- sometimes gory, sometimes poetic, sometimes fantastical -- that genuinely haunt: the essence of the cinema distilled.

Amazingly, all the excesses and derangements of filming since that time have not muffled the dream force of Franju's vision.
