Fiend Without a Face



Fiend Without a Face is a 1958 sci-fi horror film. The monsters here are "malevolent invisible killer brains, which then materialize as flying brains with attached spinal columns and eyestalks, strangling people with their spinal cords." The special effects were pretty good for a B-movie of the era, and were described as "revolting." More recent reviews are kinder, and the movie has a 67% rating at Rotten Tomatoes. (Thanks, WTM!)

The climax is horrific - a perfect combination of audio and video. Watch the last 10 minutes if nothing else.
