Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe same plot was developed 9 years later by [Robert Bloch] in [Psycho (1960)]; by consequence, [El hombre sin rostro (1950)] anticipates [Alfred Hitchcock]s film for 10 years. Same thing happened with another [Juan Bustillo Oro]'s film, [Two Monks (1934)]: this time, [Akira Kurosawa]'s [Rashomon (1950)] use the same plot and the "different point of view" narrative technique.
Featured review
A blank faced killer is preying for young women.A detective wants to catch him.He has nightmare visions about elusive stalker.Very dream-like and atmospheric horror movie from Mexico with extremely moody prologue.The funeral procession with coffins,blank face of the mysterious figure in the fog and a lone detective sitting on the bench.My copy of "El Hombre Sin Rostro" is in Spanish,so most of the plot went beyond me.The dream sequences are genuinely spooky and creative,the acting is spot-on and the cinematography is elegant.I wish I could see "El Hombre Sin Rostro" with English subtitles.But maybe I should stop being lazy and finally learn Spanish.7 blank faces out of 10.
