| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn uninspiring, revolting and potty British grand guignol. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfSatisfactorily plotted, with superb performances from Cushing and Lloyd, who manage to elevate the unseemly appetites of the script with class, turning cheap theatrics into an absorbing depiction of manipulation. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayA lot of betwixt-and-between movies came out in this era: sleazy B-pictures with major stars...and classier studio projects that dabbled in explicit sex and gore. Corruption fits both of those descriptions. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe concept of face -- as a noun, as a verb, as the mask that hides and exposes our emotions, as the anchor to our definition of self -- is so essential to human identity that horror films that hinge on the disfigurement of the face have a special power. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersPeter Cushing is over-the-top crazy in this grindhouse-style goreathon. It's hard to imagine the filmmakers didn't know the end product would be campy. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyThe contemporary setting works against the kind of tale that was even a bit silly in the pre-heart-transplant era. |
| User Reviewdelysid dOne of the great lost video nasties,,, a movie only horror freaks could love |
| User ReviewZach MThis was alright late 60's Horror movie starring Peter Cushing. Fiancée gets facial scar so Cushing starts killing ladies to fix her face. |
| User ReviewChristopher SThe story may be familiar, but this treatment is headlined by Peter Cushing, in top form as always, and kept moving with a kitschy energy and offbeat dark humor, leading to a wild climax involving an out-of-control laser. Great entertainment for B-horror fans. |
| User ReviewEric Hcrushing brings the creepy to this horror story but even he can't save this one! |
