The American filmmaker is best known for 2007\u2019s Viva and 2016\u2019s The Love Witch.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Face of Horror is based on the most famous Japanese ghost story of all time, Yotsuya Kaidan. It follows knight Edward Carnifex (Hauer-King), who marries his devoted love Eleanor (Froseth) after murdering her father \u2014\u00a0only to betray her for a wealthier bride (Heathcote).
