criticism
"With Faceless, Jess Franco succeeded in a thriller that was sometimes quite exciting and sometimes very bloody thriller, which could also please those who otherwise don't know what to do with Jess Franco's films."
“'Faceless' is staged very carefully and even really exciting. (…) In addition to the technical brilliance that this flick offers, the bitter Gore sequences and the array of well-known actors are particularly interesting. So repeated z. B. Anton Diffring did his part from 'Der Rote Schatten' and also Jess-Franco-speci Howard Vernon as Dr. Orloff made a brief appearance. Helmut Berger in the role of the doctor Flamand clearly feels comfortable and plays in a good mood. (...) 'Faceless' is pretty sexy and exciting. "
