Meta and Eli Roth’s VR Series ‘The Faceless Lady’ Is a Fascinating, Flesh-Ripping Trip Into Fully Immersive Horror Storytelling
'The Faceless Lady' is fully immersive VR horror storytelling from Eli Roth and Meta.
Used by directors like Peter Jackson in his “Hobbit” films and Ang Lee in “Gemini Man” and “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,” these big screen experiments gave the work a “realer than real” quality, which is replicated here. With the conventional plot unraveling at the beginning of the story — the couples arrive and meet each other, the game is explained, and folks poke around the spooky estate — it acts as an opportunity for the audience to get adjusted to the large field of vision. Additionally, the combination of the high frame rate feel coupled with this sweeping field of vision accounts for some strange moments of subconsciousness, where an oddly-shaped book in the background or a unique manicure could divert attention for minutes.
