    Fiend Without a Face (1958)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    A scientist’s thoughts materialise as an army of invisible brain-shaped monsters (complete with spinal-cord tails) who terrorise an American military base in Canada following atomic experiments in this nightmarish chiller, directed by Arthur Crabtree.

    This outstanding Quatermass-style sci-fi/horror hybrid is a special effects bonanza and a high-water mark in British genre filmmaking, despite the pseudo-American trappings and fading Hollywood actor Marshall Thompson taking centre stage.
