    HORRORSCREAMS VIDEOVAULT – SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT HORROR

    INDICATOR releasing horror film CORRUPTION starring Peter Cushing

    Peter 'Witchfinder' HopkinsBy Peter 'Witchfinder' Hopkins16th July 2021No Comments3 Mins Read

    In the 1960s, director Robert Hartford-Davis (The Black Torment, The Fiend) teamed up with producer/cameraman Peter Newbrook (The Asphyx) to make a series of low-budget films capitalising on the cinematic crazes of the day. In 1968, the duo stridently ventured into the surgical horror subgenre with Corruption, a grim update of Eyes Without a Face, transposed into the scenic south-coast seaside town of Seaford, via Swinging Sixties London.

    In a surprising performance, Peter Cushing (Captain Clegg, The Revenge of Frankenstein) stars as a high-class plastic surgeon who is driven to murder as part of a demented quest to rebuild the decaying visage of his fashion model wife (Sue Lloyd, The Ipcress File), who has been severely scarred at a party.

    A film that pushed the envelope of gore and sleaze in its era, Corruption is presented on home video for the first time in the UK.

    Release date is set for 30th August 2021 for this Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK Blu-ray premiere).
