Interesting facts

The Faceless Man is a 2019 Australian horror film written and directed by James Di Martino and starring Sophie Thurling, Lucas Pittaway, Andy McPhee and Roger Ward. The film premiered at the 2019 Melbourne Underground Film Festival.

Production

Di Martino chose to create The Faceless Man after directing his short film "Five O'Clock", as he wanted to create a feature length movie. He initially debated whether to make a monster or a gangster film before choosing to work the two ideas into a single film. Di Martino cites Get Out as one of his inspirations for the film, describing Jordan Peele's film as an elevated horror film.

The origin of the Faceless Man was originally intended to be included in the movie but was dropped after Di Martino watched Hereditary, as he thought that "the cult explanation was so badly executed I didn’t want to try and explain the origins in my film in a way like that."
