Viewing Notes
Kind of a big blindspot for me as this is a film that shows up on many top 100 horror movie lists. Because of that I purchased the blu-ray during the recent B&N 50% off Criterion sale. It’s definitely worthy of all the accolades with its haunting portrayal of this young woman behind the mask and her father that will do anything to restore her face. Really good movie and one I will def view again.
