      Los Angeles Times

      Disturbing, disorienting, quietly terrifying, it's one of the least known of the world's great horror movies and, in its own dark way, a startlingly beautiful and artful piece of cinema as well.

      The Dissolve

      There’s no other movie quite like it.
    • 90

      Village Voice

      A masterpiece of poetic horror and tactful, tactile brutality.
    • 90

      Chicago Reader

      As absurd and as beautiful as a fairy tale, this chilling, nocturnal black-and-white masterpiece was originally released in this country dubbed and under the title "The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus," but it's much too elegant to warrant the usual "psychotronic" treatment.

      Chicago Sun-Times

      Franju constructs an elegant visual work; here is a horror movie in which the shrieks are not by the characters but by the images.
    • 88

      Boston Globe

      Eyes Without a Face, outre as it is, never tires as hypnotic, touching, ghastly fun.
    • 80

      TV Guide Magazine

      A blood-curdling picture directed by Georges Franju at an even, distant pace that builds tension to an almost unbearable level.
    • 67

      Portland Oregonian

      Franju conjures images -- sometimes gory, sometimes poetic, sometimes fantastical -- that genuinely haunt: the essence of the cinema distilled.
