CORRUPTION 1968 (TUBI)

"Corruption is NOT a womans picture"...the ads screamed!

I hadn't seen this for years and forgot how wild it is. Peter Cushing stars as a surgeon named John Rowan. His much younger girlfriend Lynn Nolan (Sue Lloyd) invites him to a party.

John reluctantly agrees to go, but it soon turns ugly as Lynn, a model, has her face badly burned when a heat lamp falls on her face while John and another man are involved in a fight.

John is determined to save her and he finds he can heal her with fluids from the pituitary gland. This effect is only temporary and so john finds that he has to obtain more, which leads to a lot of murders.

Cushing really looks crazy as he kills the women and obtains the fluid. This quickly spirals out of control and ends badly for everyone involved. The ending involving a wild laserbeam is something to see.

This is one of the wildest films I have sever seen Cushing in, and I find it one of his best, simply because it's different. There is some blood and gore, but not too much.

The rest of the cast includes Kate O' Mara, Noel Trevarthen, David Lodge, Marian Collins, Marianne Morris and the gorgeous Valarie Van Ost. I recommend you check this out for something that while not original, is somewhat different in presentation.
