Corruption is a somewhat unpleasant tale, featuring one of the most energetic and maniacal performances that Peter Cushing has ever given. It tells of a top surgeon (Cushing) who injures his fiancee during a violent argument. Her face is permanently scarred as a result and Cushing feels terrible about what he has done to her. However, since he's a surgeon, he decides that he might be able to help her. He discovers that by taking pituitary fluid from other women, he can restore the beauty to her scarred face for a short time. This leads to a vicious murder spree in which Dr. Cushing kills numerous women for the fluid that will keep his girlfriend attractive.With a plot like that it was never going to be the best of films. But for a film made in 1967, this is really quite startling in its violence and depravity. In one extraordinary scene, a severed head is found in Cushing's refrigerator. In another, Cushing assaults and murders a woman on a train, his face twisted into terrible anger as he carries out the deplorable deed.
