As a cultural touchstone of United States, Midnight Faces resonates with its unsettling tension, audiences who connected with its message often look for similar thematic gravity. We've assembled a sequence of films that complement the tone of Midnight Faces perfectly.
For many, the first encounter with Midnight Faces is to establish Bennett Cohen as a true visionary of the 1926s.
A young man inherits a mansion in a Florida swamp from an uncle he never knew he had. When he, his assistant and the estate's executor arrive at the house, the audience catches sight of someone crawling in the window, though the house is supposed to be unoccupied. As the house staff begins to arrive they sense a strange presence in the house, and when a young woman no one knows runs into the house to escape a knife-wielding psycho, the occupants realize they may be in danger from both outside and inside the house.
