Faceless

Faceless is a 1988 French slasher film directed by Jesús Franco. The film is about Dr. Flamand (Helmut Berger) and his assistant Nathalie (Brigitte Lahaie) who lure unsuspecting victims to use their skin to perform plastic surgery on the doctor's disfigured sister - a plot reminiscent of Franco's earlier film, The Awful Dr. Orloff (1961). Hallen (Telly Savalas) is a New York businessman who hires private detective Sam Morgan (Christopher Mitchum) to find his missing fashion model daughter Barbara (Caroline Munro). Other elements of the story include a Nazi doctor (Anton Diffring) and a chainsaw/power tool tormentor (Gerard Zalcberg) who are called in by Dr. Flamand. Plot A former patient of Dr. Frank Flamand, a disfigured Mrs. Francoisis, seeks revenge for a botched operation by throwing acid at him, but she misses and catches his sister, Ingrid, full in the face, resulting in severe burns. At a photoshoot in Paris, the doctor's assistant Nathalie drugs and kidnaps Barbara Hallen and locks her in a room in the basement of Flamand's clinic. Whilst checking on other kidnapped girls, a scuffle starts with Natalie and Gordon, who lives in the basement chops off the girl's arms. In New York City, Barbara's father, Terry Hallen, is desperately awaiting news of his daughter and hires a private detective, Sam Morgan, to go and find her. Once in Paris, Morgan visits a morgue with Brian Wallace of the Paris police to see a decapitated body, but knows it is not Barbara due to a missing mole.
