Critic Reviews:

Along with the copious gore candy, a major strength here is the addition of numerous well-acted villains. It’s like a gathering of abhorrent human monsters that are all a representation of the darker, evil side of human nature and therefore realistic...


Some fans of Franco’s work consider this one of his greatest films, others feel it is a bigger budgeted departure from his previous classics. Without comparing at all, and simply judging Faceless as a stand-alone film, it is an entertaining story with some interesting kills. The story is fairly simple, the acting is okay, the gore effects range from campy to good.


The main problem with Faceless is that it drags. The plot is all build-up to the operation, which means that we get long interludes set around the various dramas going on at the clinic... These scenes are lethargically developed and endlessly drawn out. There is not even much of the erotica that we expect of Franco – especially given that he has porn actress Brigitte Lahaie in a leading role – and what there is is fairly tame even by the standards that were the norm for the 1980s.
