Curiosidades

Faceless is a 1988 French horror film directed by Jesús Franco. The film stars Helmut Berger as Dr. Flamand, Brigitte Lahaie as Nathalie, Christopher Mitchum as Sam Morgan, and Stéphane Audran.

Production

The films producer was René Château, who is also credited for the story and adaptation under the name Fred Castle. Château was a fan of genre and action films, and had a hand in introducing French audiences to the films of Bruce Lee. Château had his own video publishing company and published films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) which was previously banned in France.

Faceless uses the same narrative as Franco's film The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962) while changing the characters' names. Franco had previously reused the story of the 1962 film in several other film projects, such as The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse (1972) and Jack the Ripper (1976). Faceless was shot between December 1987 and January 1988 in Paris.
