A scientist’s thoughts materialize as an army of invisible brain-shaped monsters (complete with spinal-cord tails!) who terrorize an American military base in this nightmarish chiller, directed by Arthur Crabtree (Horrors of the Black Museum). This outstanding sci-fi/horror hybrid is a special effects bonanza, and a high-water mark in British genre filmmaking.

About the Transfer

Fiend without a Face is presented in its
original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. Created on a high-definition Spirit Datacine and enhanced for 16x9 televisions, this new digital transfer was mastered from a 35mm composite fine-grain master. To further enhance the picture, thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removed with the MTI Digital Restoration System. Telecine supervisor: Lee Kline; Telecine colorist: Allan Rogers/ HBO Studio Productions, NYC.
