      Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Under-appreciated gem. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While any resurrection of Franju is cause for celebration, Spotlight on a Murder is a bit too hoary for its own good, especially considering it was his follow-up to Eyes without a Face. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews What's fascinating is the film's mise-en-scène. Rated: B+ Oct 14, 2015 Full Review Fernando F.
