Face in the Mirror

A fading rock star, desperate to recapture his youth and fame, undergoes experimental surgery to have his face replaced with that of a younger man. However, the procedure goes terribly wrong, leaving him with a grotesque and monstrous visage. As he grapples with his terrifying new appearance, he finds himself pursued by a shadowy organization that seems to know the dark secrets behind his transformation.

Face in the Mirror, also known as 'The New Face of Death', was a low-budget horror film that garnered little attention upon its release. It is often cited as an example of a film with an interesting premise that failed to deliver a compelling execution, suffering from weak performances and a convoluted plot. It has since become a cult film among fans of obscure 1980s horror.

• Praised for its unique, albeit macabre, premise.

• Criticized for its low production values and inconsistent pacing.

• Marjoe Gortner's performance as the desperate rock star is a notable, if unsettling, element.
