Eyes Without a Face is a perfect example of how cinematic poetry can transform a seemingly disreputable movie genre.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Fresh
One of those rare horror films that induces discomfort by showing practically nothing.
Tim Purtell, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
It has some queasy scenes, but unclear progression and plodding direction give this an old-fashioned air.

As absurd and as beautiful as a fairy tale.
