Essentially well-crafted but strangely old-fashioned for a French film from 1960, with an almost classic Hollywood feel. It derives the entirety of whatever it has going for it from the haunting image of Edith Scob in her white mask, otherwise it is almost completely ordinary.

If you can't handle watching plastic surgeries well, you're gonna LOVE this film.

Pointlessly slow at times, but otherwise excellent and creepy.

As far as French movies go, this one is very French.

If it wasn't for the incredibly disappointing ending this would have been a masterpiece. The end comes out of nowhere without any hint or warning. It's infuriating, because it was as if they ran out of money and had to suddenly end the movie.

Both tediously paced & eerily beautiful. Unfortunately, on a re-watch the former trait took over. I also hate how some of the music was employed, and the acting of the doctor seemed worse.

At turns disturbing, amusing, poignant, and haunting, this thriller made in 1959 transcends the genre.

The surgery scene bought it for me, I mean it's fake and all but it made me flinch so much I had to turn away from the screen.

Decidely creepy (The surgery scene, though obviously fake, is still difficult to sit through) but a bit slow at times, and the musical score, while good, isn't too appropriate for a movie like this. It sounds like a carnival.

What do you know: horror meets art in Franjus beautifully shot film. A gem.

Creepy as hell.

03 Mart 2012 & filmin cok iyi cekilip, oynandigini dusunuyorum. cok basarili bir denge uzerinde ilerleyen ve garip bir sekilde, somut bir sebep olmaksizin atmosferi ile germeyi basaran bir is. filmin bu basarili atmosfer kurma cabasini ve icinde olusturdugu ritmik dengeyi cok sevdim. ama bence biraz daha uzun ve katmanli olabilirdi.

The surgery scene was one of the only scenes ever that made me feel really really disgusted. It's a decent enough movie. The choice to not have that much music in it adds a bit of eeriness to it.

As notable for its deeply-felt sense of emotion as the gruesomely horrific acts that more outwardly define it, Eyes Without a Face, whose title refers to the disfigured catalyst for its multiple grim acts, is as tragic as it is steadily unnerving. It's simply a brilliant horror movie.

Nearly flawless thriller. What you have here is a great script with a well written intrugue that works perfectly. There is one flaw, [SPOILER!!!ALERT!!!ACHTUNG] even though we know, that the father is doing it for his daughter (he loves her but also feels responsible for her current situation) [ULTRA!!!SPOILER!!!ALERT!!!ACHTUNG], the deaths of all those young girls (who could easily be his daughters friends) come rather to easy for him. This is ALMOST a masterpiece.
