This Great ’60s Mad Science Horror Flips the Script on a Classic, Thought-Provoking ‘Twilight Zone’ Episode

Face of Terror was released in 1962 and came at the very beginning of a new wave of horrors and thrillers in Spanish cinema in the '60s, when this tradition was still in the process of finding its style. Directed by Isidoro M. Ferry (with several scenes filmed by William J. Hole Jr. for the international version in English), this film casts aside the classic Gothic elements that will dominate Fantaterror in the subsequent years, instead focusing on the imperfections of humans and the dangers of their reckless actions.
