“Meet the new face of terror.”
Directed by George A. Romero

The premise
After years of being browbeaten and walked on, a man wakes one day wearing an expressionless mask, fitted with a personality that enables him to take revenge.
Horror Vault's take
A meek, long-suffering man finds his face replaced one morning by a blank, featureless mask — and with it, a chilling new sense of purpose. George Romero's underrated psychological thriller explores what happens when a doormat finally snaps, turning the mundane humiliations of everyday life into something genuinely sinister. The mask becomes both a symbol and a weapon, stripping its wearer of conscience while gifting him the courage to settle every outstanding score. Equal parts character study and revenge horror, it builds a queasy dread from the inside out.
