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.

“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
