Zavvi - The Home of Pop Culture

The definitive edition of one of the most celebrated and controversial films in cinema history. George Franju's notorious horror story follows an eminent plastic surgeon (Pierre Brasseur, Goto, Island of Love) as he tries to reconstruct his daughter's badly disfigured face by grafting the living tissue from beautiful girls kidnapped by his devoted assistant (Alida Valli, Suspiria).
