Salpel. 1977.
A deranged surgeon restore's a beaten girl's face that almost resembles his deceased daughter.
This seemed to start off well and slowly becomes more psychological than a full blown horror film with the doctor having a split personality disorder, almost Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with some Dr Frankenstein persona.
The film's pace seems to go steady then fast with Robert Lansing being the mad doctor who has been cut out of a will and uses go go dancer Judith Chapman as a guinea pig for his plan. This is like a slow decent into being a good doctor then flick a switch to total paranoia. At times the acting can go over the top and some scenes lasting longer than what they should be but a nice little twist at the end.
