5.0 out of 5 starsNo women will be admitted alone!
By Rich on 22 Oct. 2013
Verified Purchase
Gaudy and lurid Corruption gets the deluxe treatment from Grindhouse. Cushing plays a lauded surgeon with trophy model fiance. While arguing with nasty photographer (Tony Booth) Cushing manages to disfigure his intended with a falling spotlight that burns her face badly. The tale spins along all Eyes Without a Face as Cushing is forced to butcher young girls to harvest a gland that restores his increasingly conniving lady's good looks. A final reel showdown with a gang of the bizarrest psychos consisting of Austin Powers, Sergeant Pepper and one genuine ex Eastender descends into a frenzied finale of death and laser beam carnage.

Generally regarded as a bit of a hack, director Robert Hartford-Davis was responsible for several fun Brit horrors like The Black Torment [DVD], Blood Suckers [DVD] and the incredible The Fiend [Uncut] DVD [1972]. OK so he's not Michael Reeves but Corruption is his Witchfinder General. British smut supremo Derek Ford wrote the screenplay with his brother Donald.

Filmed in various export versions Corruption will probably have Hammer purists slack jawed in disbelief at the sight of their beloved Peter Cushing, hair wildly messed, smearing blood over topless corpses and stabbing various dolly birds up. The rest of us can enjoy an unrelentingly entertaining late 60's proto slasher which finaly delivers everything it's lurid posters promised.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsPeter Cushing As You've Never Seen Him Before...
By Chip Kaufmann on 9 Jan. 2014
...or may ever want to see him again. 1968's CORRUPTION is surely the most uncharacteristic movie Cushing ever made. Not that he isn't his usual dignified self, it's just that every thing around him seems so whacked out. Actually it's vice-versa. This is Swinging London ca. 1967 and in this enviornment Cushing seems as out of place as prime rib at a vegan restaurant. That contrast is what gives CORRUPTION its fascination but it remains a difficult film for long time fans of the actor to sit through. That doesn't make it a bad film just an unpleasant one. The plot is basically a rehash of the famous 1959 French shocker LES YEUX SANS VISAGE (Eyes Without A Face) in which a plastic surgeon desperately attempts to repair his daughter's hideously scarred face. In CORRUPTION instead of his daughter it's Cushing's beautiful much younger wife (Sue Lloyd) who needs the repair job. After the initial skin graft doesn't work Cushing is forced to go out and murder women for fresh grafts. Soon the younger wife has younger companions and this eventually leads to a wild finish with an out-of-control laser.

Watching CORRUPTION again after 3 years, in lieu of the new Blu Ray/DVD release and after watching countless British horror movies, I discovered what a really remarkable film it is from a technical standpoint. As another reviewer points out in greater detail, the film is beautifully photographed and the compositions of the shots themselves (ie. what's in the frame) are rather striking. D.O.P. Peter Newbrook would go on to photograph CRUCIBLE OF TERROR (1971) and direct THE ASPHYX (1973). The new release gives you the choice of the 1968 Columbia Pictures version that played in English speaking countries or the "uncut" European/Japanese version which features additional gore and nudity.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsFinally on DVD
By A. Griffiths on 16 Nov. 2013
Verified Purchase
Corruption has been a rare film for decades, and I am really pleased to see it finally releases on DVD and Bluray. This pack contains two separate discs, and the DVD and Bluray discs are identical, so you just choose which one you'd like to play.
Now onto the film itself. Corruption tells a familiar tale, in which a man is driven to madness by his efforts to restore the lost looks of his wife. The cure requires the use of the pituitary gland from other women, and let's just say that the women are not willing donors! Set and filmed in England in the swinging Sixties, the film has dated somewhat, especially evident in the "groovy party" opening scene, but apart from that silliness, the rest of if holds up pretty well. Peter Cushing is of course exemplary in the lead role of the doctor who kills to cure his disfigured wife. Even in the most lurid scenes (more of these later), he acts the part realistically and with dignity. Sue Lloyd plays the vain wife with the ruined face, and she also does well, portraying a nasty, selfish character that you really feel no sympathy for. It would be fair to say that she is the villain and Peter Cushing is the good guy in this set up, even though he does the killing!

A few things let the film down, some of it's very "Britishness" means that the violence can sometimes be ineffective, especially noticeable in a "home invasion" scene when a gang of thugs terrorise a small house - the gang don't seem threatening in the least, and I think it's a combination of the acting, the script and direction that no sense of real menace exists in this scene. It's a shame because elsewhere in the film all the acting is quite effective, but this confrontation is not, and it's pivotal to the climax of the film.

So what does work well?Read more ›
