Philippe Lemaire stars as an artist named Frederic, who, after his wife is involved in an accident and is severly burned, dedicates his life to getting her a new face.
They live in a secluded mansion and his wife Anne (Anny Duperey) is slowly losing her sanity. Frederic hires a beautiful nurse to take care of Anne, and they begin a small affair that Anne quickly stops with murder.
Frederic soon learns that a dis-credited doctor named Romer (Howard Vernon) can restore Anne's face. He blackmails the doctor into helping him, and both soon start to scout around for attractive women to kidnap and use in the experiments.
This is a well made film that comes to a very bleak conclusion for all involved, and it really held my attention. It's essentially a remake of "Eyes Without A Face" and has been done many times, but this was very entertaining and had some original ideas as well.
The print is beautiful and it is dubbed into English. The rest of the cast includes Olivia Robin, Elizabeth Tiessier, and Michael Charrel.
If you get the chance you might want to check this one out. It's billed as the first "sex horror film" whatever that means.
