Viewing Notes
Despite a few notably great kill scenes and a strange, eclectic cast (including the likes of Telly Savalas, Chris Mitchum, Caroline Munro, Brigitte Lahaie, Hulmut Berger, Howard Vernon and Anton Diffring) there’s not a lot else going on in this pretty tepid film “inspired” by the classic EYES WITHOUT A FACE. It doesn’t even come to an actual conclusion, choosing instead to suggest the culminating events will happen after the film is over.
If I were using a Franco-meter to rate this it’d probably be a 7/10 based on Franco films alone. This is coherent and follows a plotline pretty consistently for Franco.
