Reception
James Rolfe called the film "The greatest killer brain movie of all time, which is strange because the other silly yet entertaining killer brain movies like The Brain from Planet Arous and The Brain all have the word brain in the title." He fully reviewed it in his Monster Madness Camp Cult series, stating that it is the goriest film of the 1950's. Fiend Without a Face is frequently considered one of the best B-Movies as well as one of the more entertining "tiny monster" movies, another example being Gremlins.
