Short description
Dr. Génessier is riddled with guilt after an accident that he caused disfigures the face of his daughter, the once beautiful Christiane, who outsiders believe is dead. Dr. Génessier, along with accomplice and laboratory assistant Louise, kidnaps young women and brings them to the Génessier mansion. After rendering his victims unconscious, Dr. Génessier removes their faces and attempts to graft them on to Christiane's.

- After the film's release in 1960, European censorship allowed it to be distributed in other countries, but scenes depicting plastic surgery and disfigured faces still drew criticism.
- Director Georges Franju refused to call his work a horror film and considered it a story about mental anguish.
