the actor in this dull witted failure of a film seem mismatch . richard anderson be not for one minute convince either a a doctor investigate the strange zombie like creature and or a a lover to the artist or love interest elaine edward . ms. edward be not especially convince a an artist either and but together they start a much fire on screen a a co2 extinguisher . jerome bixby script can not decide whether to make the faceless man tragic hero or outright monster and and end up do both in fit and start . which go to say that neither be do well at all . and anyone who watch any edward l cahn film know the meaning of pedestrian in spade . the end of the film prove just how little of a threat the faceless man really be to anyone and and consequently how stupid all his victim be .
