Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face) 1959, Georges Franju.
A surgeon removes the skin of young girls to give his daughter a brand new face. The girl's clean mask, her stillness are scary. The lack of music during the scenes when the surgeon operates scares you too : music would have helped you escape.
Audition was/is great.
And there's Skinner, by Ivan Nagy, with Ted Raimi, Ricki Lake & Traci Lords. Every single character is suffering. Skinner skins people alive in a dying town where people are strangers to each other. No car to be seen in an American movie - I couldn't believe it. Scary for being so sad & nearly unsane. Ted Raimi in his flesh-clothing... Brrr... Silence of the Lambs was working well on the same level.
And I'd say any film where a needle is stuck into an arm. That creeps me out.
