Description

A surgeon discovers that he can restore the beauty to his girlfriend's scarred face by murdering other women and extracting fluids from their pituitary gland. However, the effects only last for a short time, so he has to kill more and more women. It is ultimately a killing spree which ends with considerable death and disaster.

    "Sir John Rowan" (Peter Cushing) is an accomplished surgeon who is dating the rather vain and flighty "Lynn" (Sue Lloyd). When the latter is involved in a disfiguring accident, he decides to try to find a way to restore her beauty. He quickly discovers that by extracting fluid from the pituitary gland into the affected area, the skin recovers miraculously. What they equally swiftly realise is that this treatment isn't just an one-off. It needs to be repeated - ergo, he needs more glands and that needs volunteers! From here on in it loses it's way as it marries "Frankenstein" themes with a bit of murder and bodysnatching before leaving us with a final half hour that is just silly. Cushing is really just going through the motions and neither the wooden Lloyd nor an early appearance from the always unremarkable Kate O'Mara really add very much to this increasingly hysterical drama. Not one of Cushing's films he'd want you to remember, I don't think.
