A serial killer is apparently melting the flesh off his corpses, and a forensics expert, whose daughter is a gravely ill transplant patient, is trying to sculpt their faces from the skulls. The stories begin to converge when it appears that organ harvesting could be the motive for the murders. Director Yu Sang-gon gives this 2004 Korean film a stylish noir look, but as a thriller it's only mildly engaging, and its horror-film aspects—ghostly apparitions, thunder and lightning—are trite in the extreme. 84 min.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Face on Saturday, November 21.
