European Horror: Les Yeux Sans Visage aka Eyes Without A Face (1960)

Directed by Georges Franju, based on a book by Jean Redon. It tells the tale of a plastic surgeon who is determined to perform a face transplant on his daughter, who is disfigured after an auto crash. The film stars Pierre Brasseur and Alida Valli. The film is known for being about anguish - it's quieter mood than horror - more internal, more penetrating. It's horror in homeopathic doses. The film is now considered a masterclass in post modern horror with its direction and sense of mood.
