Review of Fiend Without a Face (1958) by Bobby B — 19 Oct 2009
An amusing, forgotten B-horror flick about nothing less then atomic-fueled disembodied brains who eat people's brains. The first hour or so is really not too eventful, but is mildly amusing and diverting fluff.
The last 15 minutes, however, are pure B-movie gold. While it's never less than utterly ridiculous and not at all frightening, the climax is actually pretty damn inventive, and it's easy to see how this inspired horror masterpieces like The Birds and Night of the Living Dead.
Fiend Without A Face obviously is nothing great or even good, but it's enjoyable with a hilarious, bizarre climax. The sight of brains crawling around and strangling people to death thrilled my inner 10-year old.
