Strange face in the mirror: The trailer
In the trailer of ‘Faceless,’ we hear a doctor briefing his patient after a face transplant about the risks and precautions after surgery. The doctor even talks about how the emotional shock of seeing a new face in the mirror instead of one’s own can have more dangerous effects on the person than the biological aspect of tissue rejection. As the instructions go on, the patient continues to see disturbing flashes of memory, distorted images of people who are right in front of him, and even seems to have a stalker who attacks him.

Why this film is a must-watch
This Blackbear Studios Production tells the story of a man who has been released prematurely from a hospital as he is still recovering from the shock of getting a new face after surgery. As he gets stalked by mysterious entities and haunted by terrifying flashbacks, he must find a way to make things right with the help of the only one who is by his side- a stranger named Sophie. The film is full of gore and bloodshed as well as some high-voltage suspense. The horror film may have used the clichéd setting of a hospital, but in no way does the film lack any thrills.
