Face Frontal




Her features were somehow misplaced
And now they all must be replaced
Except for her eyes
which stare in surprise
it seems that this girl was de-faced



Georges Franju's Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face, 1960)
is one of the creepiest and most haunting horror films ever made.


You're getting sleepy, your eyelids are growing heavy...
we're shutting Eyeball Week at Limerwrecks.

Eyes Without a Face is one of my faves. You should check out that director's previous effort, "Blood of the Beast", a documentary about French slaughterhouses.

Eyes is what many films attempt but fail to be be, truly chilling and haunting, sustaining a feeling of dread. I've heard Beasts is good.
