A 1960 French Thriller/Horror/Drama directed by Georges Franju, about a Mad Doctor who has his monstrous nurse Louise kidnap young women to cut their facial skin and transplant it on the face of his daughter, Christiane, whose face is an open wound ever since a car accident caused by Daddy Dearest...

The film has been made into a video game, which shares many of the same tropes.
