The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Faceless (1987)

Starring: Telly Savalas, Howard Vernon, Brigitte Lahaie, Helmut Berger
Director: Jess Franco

Premise:
A private invesitgator is hired to find the daughter of wealthy man. He finds the girl has been taken by plastic surgeon who claims a miracle cure for aging by using the blood and organs of the youth.

My Take:
An interesting premise but it doesn't hold up very well. It's may be a Franco film, but it doesn't feel like one. And I just couldn't find myself too interested in the outcome.

Rating: Warning
