It is impossible to watch this movie and not realize that we have either seen or read something (or many things!) before, that were clearly inspired by this. And still, this piece shines above them, almost 60 years later. What a great fun it was to experience it!

Surreal and creepy story about a plastic surgeon that kidnaps women with the help of his assistant. They remove their faces and tries to transplant to her daughter's face whose face was totally destroyed in a car accident.
The interesting thing about it is that theres something beautiful in this insane story. The music score perfectly suits the film and helped to create the dark atmosphere, the acting is strong and the cinematography is very good.
The use of silent scenes in the film were important to increase the tension and the suspense.
This story made me remind of Pedro Almodóvar's film The Skin I live in.

This movie was a bit slower-paced than I was expecting, and than I prefer, but it was still quite good, and it's impossible to ignore the impact it had on future media. At the time, I can see how it would have been terrifying, that someone could attempt this kind of thing. The scene where a face is surgically removed (and the camera doesn't really cut away, though it is at a discreet distance) made me squirm, because I'm not good with that sort of thing. It must have been shocking for viewers of the 60s.

Definitely worth a watch, if only for the cinema history. Just don't go in expecting anything like current horror.

I’m not really a fan of movies before the 70’s but this really holds up well and does some amazing things with special effects. Worth the subtitles

I really enjoyed this film. The story was very interesting and well written, to compliment that they had an incredible soundtrack that really made the film better. This is one of those films you must see before you die.

From the outset it's easy to see the film's legacy on movies like 'The Skin I live in' and 'Get Out'. It's a chilling, disturbing horror masterfully directed by Georges Franju, and it also looks amazing. Would probably have been a game changer at the time.

Pretty neat Horror movie. Creepy imagery. Great mask. Face-lifting scene is grueling. The "dog prison" is a cool set.
