Well, this movie was better then I had anticipated. Judging from the title and first impression, I thought it was going to be a cheesy, old horror movie. It turned out a lot better.
Fiend without a face tells about an airbase. It's located close to a small town. The villagers don't take kindly to the base, since they use atomic power in it. The farmers believe this is disrupting the cow's milk production. This is only a side plot however, since the main problem is an unknown presence that kills people in a gruesome way...
The acting in this movie is nice. It's certainly better then 'your average' black-and-white horror movie. I especially liked the leading characters and the professor.
There isn't much music in this film. It's actually quite effective when they don't use music during the creepy scenes. This counts for a lot of movies, if you want my honest opinion.
The special effects are good for it's time. It didn't look fake or cheesy to me at all. I've seen worse, FAR worse in countless other movies of the same time period.
In conclusion, Fiend without a face is certainly not a bad movie. I can recommend it for fans of strange black-and-white horror movies.
It's creative for sure, so for that reason alone I give it 5 stars, but I will add 2 more for the other aspects I just mentioned. That brings the rating to a grand total of 7 out of 10 stars. A job well done.
