Faceless Movie Review 1988

Franco gorefest has model Barbara disappear after going to a plastic surgery clinic run by the crazed Dr. Flamand. Her father sends a P.I. to find her, and he finds much more, as beautiful women are being killed for their skin and other needed accessories for the doctor's sister, who was disfigured in an acid-throwing incident. Bigger budget and better production values than Franco usually uses provides quality scares and squirms for fans of his work. Others may not be as enamored.
