This is one of those classics that should be remade

The movie plays more with drama than horror, really

The film is fine as it is; it tells the story wonderfully, is gorgeous to look at, haunting yet oddly touching in it's own way, has some great scares, and leaves you with some food for thought. A remake is completely unnecessary.

I think the execution in Eyes without a Face is remarkable and feels contemporary. I don't think the film was concerned with suspense or thrills either. It is ambiguous through and through and offers us the character and story without explicit judgement for us to make decisions regarding.
Franju has said that he uses silent spaces in the film to create a sense of anxiety in the viewer and that anxiety is what makes for horror. One needs nothing more.
Keep silent unless what you are going to say is more important than silence. -

If Eyes Without a Face was remade in modern Hollywood:
-There would be a gratuitous dog murder scene
-They'd turn Christiane into a slasher character, and have her attacking innocents for no reason
-We'd see Louise shower, and this would be used to reveal her facial scars. Also, her tits. Because why not
-A useless side plot where the boyfriend doctor would go nuts thinking Christiane is still alive, and eventually attack Christianes father for no reason.
-The second girl would have also died before being saved. And she'd die screaming "NO DON'T KILL ME!" a thousand times
-It'd just be Saw.
Soplease don't remake this. Ever.
EDIT: I forgot that there would also be a overlong scene where it's told on the nose about the relationship between Christaine and her father. With flashbacks and a scene where she tells it to one of the captured girls. Or a dog. -

The idea of a remake is horrible. The beauty behind this film lies in the way it was shot, edited, scored, and acted all things that, unless completely duplicated, would not do the original film justice. There have been other attempts at the story, but this movie stands alone.
