Reviews for Eyes Without a Face
A compelling and clinically brilliant combination of French art film and shock horror.

ends up occupying uncharted territories somewhere between the gothic horrors of Frankenstein, the fairytale lyricism of La Belle et la Bete, and the charnel-house realism of Franju's own abbatoir-set documentary Le Sang Des Betes.

Both a horror movie and a dreamy art film without peer.

Sharp as a scalpel, soft as a caress, this is a weird masterwork.
09/26/07
It has some queasy scenes, but unclear progression and plodding direction give this an old-fashioned air.

Top CriticAs absurd and as beautiful as a fairy tale.

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.
05/27/04
Eyes Without a Face has the staging and rhythm of Noir, and, up until one incredible scene, employs horror with implication and ambiance.
