Corruption - 1968 - 5/10
Brilliant surgeon is engaged to top fashion model.
At a Swinging London happening, an arc light topples and sizzles the model’s face.
Wait a minute! Her fiancé, the surgeon, he’s brilliant, remember?
The doctor begins to harvest tissue, the fresher the better.
Interesting time capsule curio gradually turns mad, insanely mad.
As bad as the script seems, the direction is ridiculous.
There is a lengthy chase at one point. It goes on too long, but rather than trim, this is simply sped up. I asked aloud, “Where’s Benny Hill?”
This pales next to the last act and the ludicrous finale.
Poor Peter Cushing, what was he thinking?
