Corruption (1968 Film)
''Corruption'' is a 1968 British horror film directed by Robert Hartford-Davis from a screenplay by Derek Ford and Donald Ford, and featuring Peter Cushing, Sue Lloyd, Noel Trevarthen, Kate O'Mara, David Lodge, and Antony Booth. The film is a loose riff on the plot of the 1960 French horror film '' Eyes Without a Face'' and is notable for its atypical contemporary setting (most of Cushing's Gothic horror films were set in the past) and its extreme (for the time) gore and violence. Plot Sir John Rowan (Peter Cushing) is a prominent plastic surgeon with a beautiful and youthful fiancée named Lynn (Sue Lloyd), who works as a fashion model. At a raucous party, Rowan—much older than any of the other attendees, and clearly uncomfortable around the countercultural excess of the late 1960s—gets into a physical altercation with a sleazy photographer, and during the scuffle, a hot lamp falls on Lynn, severely scarring her face. Rowan pledges to reverse Lynn's disfigurement, experim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
