A movie with brains
12 July 2006
"Fiend without a face" is a solid example of 50's sci-fi, that kind of lovely low budget film in the same vein of "It! The Terror from Beuond Space" and many others. In this case, the first half of the movie is very slow, and the lack of a visible monster is an extra turn off, but the second half (and specially the last 20 minutes) are clearly among the best of the genre. Finally, the now visible brain-like monsters are great to see, looking menacing even in his primitive form. Star Marshall Thompson and the rest of the cast do their humble best, but overall it's a fun ride. And they blew away an atomic plant with explosives without any ambiental consequenses!! Beware of the Brazilian edition, the disc are all damaged, it's impossible to see the credits.
