The Recurring Faces of Shame in Terence Fisher’s Films

Viewing STOLEN FACE a second time, I was reminded of how many moments in the films of Terence Fisher we get glimpses of people (and creatures) who are made pitifully aware of how abhorrent they have become to others. I doubt this a complete list, but I believe it is a compelling one. It's a point he made again and again.
