Fairly big cast for this one. The film is about a scientist who is horribly burned in a fire in his lab lit by criminals. Using the synthetic skin he had invented, he seeks revenge under different identities.

It is a remake of a 1966 Japanese film Tanin no kao or The Face of Another, and has spawned a series of comic books and two straight-to-video sequels. Raimi wanted to make a film that would reach a larger audience. He calls it a “high tech, action packed, Phantom of the Opera”.

Ivan Raimi, a practicing physician, gave the technical and medical expertise which was important to make the story semi-believable.
