This beautiful refurbishing of Franju’s film allows the underrated whodunit to assume its rightful place on the cinephile’s mantle.
Franju’s 1960 classic continues to represent a pivot point between classic and modern horror idioms.
It’s a landmark genre film for the simple fact that it shows just how scary something as simple as a mask can be.
A well-rendered package for a creepy but somewhat underwhelming film.
