While Fiend Without a Face isn't nearly as much fun as The Blob (also released in 1958), it's a decent time-waster for fans of B-movies of the era. The climactic battle with the fiends is classic. The Criterion ...read the complete Fiend Without a Face movie review at Flipside Movie Emporium (Michael Scrutchin)

A favorite 50s B movie about invisible Brains and Spinal Cords that choke its victims. Marshall Thompson is the hero. The monsters do not appear until the end, so the suspense of unseen monster is there. If they were shown any sooner, the movie would ...

Nuclear powered canabilistic vampiric brains created by a mad scientist with a babe for an assistant just waiting to be won by the wrongly accused misunderstood military commander. How can you go ...

First off, all the stars are based on nostalgia. For me this movie was part of my childhood. Saturday night Creature Double Feature, on UHF channels (or Channel 11 out of NY City) with all the lights out! Ahh, life was good.
For years I couldn't ...

"Fiend" succeeds admirably as a campy, diverting skin-crawler that channels the prevailing atomic anxieties of the 1950s. Crabtree's "Fiend" has a neat twist, though--the creatures are actually materializations of their creator's thoughts. Though ...

FIRST THOUGHTS: FRIEND WITHOUT A FACE -- NO MISPRINT!
When I first saw the ad posters in the lobby of our neighborhood theatre in 1958 [or 59] at first glance I thought the posters read, "Friend Without A Face"! I was, in fact, just learning to read, ...

If you remember this title, I don't need to tell you anything, great stuff! The print quality is S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R!! Definitely worth the $39 bucks! (Criterion's "The Blob" is another title with awesome print ...

At an american airbase in canada, we're busily spying on the russians with our latest atomic-powered radar system. All is well, that is until the local townsfolk start dying! They're not just dropping dead mind you, these people are having their brains ...

oh boy, is this one priceless! A christmas present from my dear old ma, i SHook my head in disbelief upon opening. This was not the lord of the rings-two towers extended version I had requested. "give it a chance" she said.
So i put it on and ...
This movie scared the hell out of me when I was at home one day watching tv by myself as a young boy! At the same time, I was too compelled to see the outcome to change the channel. Could have sworn the fiends were in the house with me! At any rate, ...

Jeff Shannon sums up my feelings with those 2 words, but if you enjoy reading shameless praise and rantings feel free to continue:This film, which I first saw when I was about 8 (back when they actually had things like triple-features in theatres), is ...
