Criminally bad use of the face-swap effect, from 1972:
SHAME. SHAME.
It’s worse than the previous gold standard of bad face-swap, NBC Hannibal (2015):
…though it fails for some of the same reasons, namely that the two actors’ face shapes are just not even remotely similar, in terms of how spaces out their features are in their respective heads.
Vampire Circus, however, adds in the additional fail of one of the actors looking up towards the camera; while the other is looking straight ahead; as well as the two women not making even remotely the same facial expression in the blended shots.
I’m also awarding the producers of this thoroughly shit film extra demerits, because this effect is supposed to establish that Generic-Brand Raquel Welch (Adrienne Corri) is the same person as First-Draft Amy Acker (Domini Blythe), fifteen (15) years apart. Which. Not at all how aging works. (Source: I am old.)
But like, seriously. Even if you spent the entire decade and a half in direct sunlight (which would be… weird, for a woman who has been hanging out with vampires; but okay) - I don’t think the distance between your eyes, nose, and mouth would radically change.
