This was written by the same people who did Diabolique and I think also Vertigo.  It's similar to Hitchcock in theme but not in style.  The director's other major film credit was a documentary about french slaughterhouses (it is included on this criterion DVD but I couldn't watch it, too jarring)   and this story is told in a similar dry, dark sort of style.  It doesn't have alot of the dialogue and character development of,say, "Psycho"  but is sucessful and enjoyable in it's own way.  The creepy image of the girl in the mask is unforgettable.  highly recommended

I didn't know Billy Idol was around in 1959.

Franju's film was shown stateside as the HORROR CHAMBER of DR.FAUSTUS (more catchy,eh?),and kinda kickstarted a whole sub genre of it's own...heck,Jess Franco has practically made a carrear out of ripping off this movie! As in the AWFUL DR.ORLOFF (1962) up untill FACELESS (1988) !!!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
