Blu-ray Review – Corruption

The cover art for the "Corruption" Blu-ray contains an illustration of
star Peter Cushing pinning a woman to the ground, slashing her throat
with a knife while staring out expressionlessly, as though this act of
ultraviolence was all in a day's work. It's disturbing, selling the
movie as first class ticket to exploitation nirvana, promising a picture
that's unhinged and excessive. Turns out, "Corruption" isn't that
extreme, at least by today's standards, emerging not as a careless
rampage, but as an engaging chiller with some sense of taste between
brutal killings. For the most part, the feature is satisfactorily
plotted, with superb performances from Cushing and co-stay Sue Lloyd,
who manage to elevate the unseemly appetites of the script with a great
deal of class, turning cheap theatrics into an absorbing depiction of
manipulation and guilt-stained murder. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
