French horror directed by Georges Franju. After his daughter Christiane (Edith Scob) is horribly disfigured in a car accident he caused, plastic surgeon Dr. G?nessier (Pierre Brasseur) is driven mad with guilt. As atonement, the doctor, aided by his loyal assistant Louise (Alida Valli), kidnaps young women, takes them to his secret laboratory and surgically removes their faces with the hope of grafting them on to his daughter’s ruined features and restoring her former beauty. But will Christiane allow him to succeed in his dangerous experiments?
