See more Ted B @Movieaddicted 10/13/2024 3.0 stars. Yes, I guess you could say that from the perspective of 60+ years since this movie was released, it is quite cheesy. The acting was subpar, and the plot was fairly typical of 1950s sci-fi flicks. I did like the creepy touch of keeping the monsters invisible until the very end. For its time, the stop-action special effects were pretty good. Also, the thought of creating creatures from a mind control ability was pretty terrifying. This trope was also explored in the movie "Forbidden Planet". See more NiB Y 06/01/2024 A little better than the average Creature Feature from it's time due to it's impressive special effects. See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 03/13/2024 While it's very short, full of disposable characters and poor writing the monsters and stop motion effects are surprisingly good. An very decent entry into the 50s Monster Craze See more 04/19/2023 Watchable nonsense. Cheesy, surprisingly gory, with an attractive lead girl that helped hold my attention. See more Christopher B 08/22/2022 Overall, Fiend without a Face works as a 50s science fiction film that at times may be a little cheesy or far stretched, works. For the time, and on a tiny budget, it is a successful creature film with some amazing stop animation. If you're into older sci-fi, you'll find yourself eating this up. See more Read all reviews
