"They seem to have wandered in from an episode of The Avengers." Yes, and from three different doorways at once. And that Sergeant Pepper's outfit--what the actual hell?
While I am sure that Peter Cushing was always the professional when it came to acting in any kind of film, I do wonder what Cushing must have thought to be working with a group of young hippie actors. I got a good laugh when the photographer asked Cushing, "Are you the fuzz?"
The sad thing is that this type of role is the type that Peter Cushing excels at with such great success - a basically good man with tremendous inner conflict who's compelled to do monstrous things, such as Gustav Weil ("I have tried always to be a good man."). Thank God he was an uncomfortable outsider at the party instead of one of the gang. "Hello, I'm Peter Cushing, and I put the GRRRRRRR!!! in Tiger, baby!!!"
Yeah, it's not much of a movie, but it's a really good lead performance. I don't know how he managed the shaking hands scene in the late stages of the second act. (Stopped smoking for a couple hours?) His "GRRR!!! in Tiger" moment is probably the bit in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, where he saunters into Veronica Carlson's room with his jacket over his shoulder, and he is predictably terrible at that (and almost equally bad in the scenes with Valerie Gaunt's character in Curse of Frankenstein). Sexually aggressive men were not his forte onscreen, for whatever reason.
This film really is a cocktail made of equal parts Brain That Wouldn’t Die, Eyes Without A Face, and Leech Woman, mixed in a Hammer Frankenstein shaker, and served on the rocks of psychedelic ’60s movie sensibilities 🥃 😆
4:55 It would have been the perfect moment to have another train on a parallel track just rushing by... and a wide-eyed Margaret Rutherford in one of those windows.
@ Yes I have, captain smart arse. I said on a parallel track, not "going the other way". But you have obviously never seen "Murder She Said", otherwise you would know what I'm referring to.
"The Harvey Girls", the 1946 MGM musical film starring Judy Garland, does that with co-star Virginia O'Brien's character; she figures as a main supporting character but in the middle of the film, she's no longer seen, due to Ms. O'Brien being pregnant during filming. And there is no explanation whatsoever for her character's disappearance.
I hate this movie. It's nonstop mean-spiritedness that ends in utter nonsense. By the way, Lynn's sister and her boyfriend do reappear in the last couple minutes of the film. They burst in out of nowhere in the penultimate scene just to be cut down by Cushing's out of control cosmetic death-ray.
"Corruption" looks like it leaves a LOT to be desired, but Cushing only had to wait 6 years before he could roll his r's and threaten "your rebel friends" in the first Star Wars feature.
"Bloody hell, she can get a job on POLICE ACADEMY!" 🤣 Man, very few apart from Vincent Price played dedicated madmen with veddy flair like Peter Cushing.
Y'know what, Robin? After this video, I'm now MORE interested in seeing this put-together thing than I was earlier! For that, I say thank you. Consider this a part of my "To watch" list!
Yay, Peter Cushing! It's a crime against culture he wasn't cast as Professor 'iggins, it is. Or Rex Harrison as Dr. Frankenstein. My Fair Lady could work mated to Franjenstein with minimal changes to the script.
@@willmfrank This would be a VASTLY more entertaining and Cushing-centric version of Frankenstein Created Woman than the bland Denberg-centric film that we got.
"Welcome back to my dark corner of this sick world." "AAAAAAAH!!!" I'll be honest: this may be the best opening for a horror movie retrospective channel I could ask for. =)
The scene where the criminal gang appears remind me more of another Monty Python sketch: The Visitors, Wacky, uninvited guests making a mess of things that ends with killings. Were it not for their wacky nature the home invasion would not seem out of place in A Clockwork Orange.
That's odd! I would have sworn you did that movie already! Turns out, I just watched it on RUclips a few month ago! That goes to show what a terrific job you do in capturing the "spirit" of a film in a few minutes, via superb writing and editing, jumping back and forth chronologically! I remember having watched "Spider Island" after I'd seen your review, and I thought to myself: "I could have spared me the pain!" Anyhoo, keep up the good work, I love what you're doing guys! 🤓
"Call da fuzz!" No wonder Cushing went off on one for this film. It's actually embarassing to see such wretchedly terrible actors next to the great Peter Cushing.
I watched this many years ago when it was shown on tv and later bought the dvd. It is actually a really entertaining movie with some nice twist and really good performances and excellent camera work. I also like that it is different from the movies Cushing usually did, I think it is a nice surprise and also Sue Lloyd is great to watch when her character turns evil and mad. It is a little and cheap movie but it helps a lot that there are many on location shots istead of studio. I think its a very Hitchcockian movie and I like it a lot. Actually I was more disappointed movies like Misterio en la isla de los monstruos or Shock Waves when only his name is used and he is only in a couple of scenes so his fans watch it just because he is in it. In Curruption he is really the star and his performance is as always hilarious.
Believe it or not I was thinking about this movie just yesterday. When it was played in the early 1980s on a Saturday afternoon the local host commented that the reason nobody heard the woman screaming on the train was because it was drowned out by the loud background music playing during that scene.
He was the boyfriend of one of the murdered girls, and was going to get nasty once he figured out what happened to her. It's possibly the only intelligent thing Lynn does all movie, but she's so busy throwing John under the bus by this point that the viewer doesn't usually respect her for it (or at least I didn't).
5:35 was this somehow "speeded up" for the film? The girl seems to be running as fast as someone in a Benny Hill "chase" scene. In my mind I heard the Benny Hill music playing as she ran.
I must be in a minority because I like this one due to the presence of Cushing, Sue Lloyd, Kate O'Mara, Valerie van Ist, et al. I even bought the recently remastered Blu-ray...
One film which forgets important characters at its climax is Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed!, where the investigating police inspector (Thorley Walters) and the police doctor (Geoffrey Bayldon) simply disappear from the movie.
I always quite liked this. It's not really "good" in any accepted sense, but Cushing -as so often- lends it a touch of class it doesn't really deserve.
That girl winking before the reveal makes me wonder if the director of Myra Breckenridge saw this and thought it was a good idea.... BTW, you should review Myra Breckenridge now that Raquel Welch has passed.
Here in Germany the title was changed from Korruption (Corruption) to "Die Bestie mit dem Skalpell" ( The beast with the scalpel ) Don't ask me why. :o) ... I like this movie.
Due to an irregular filming schedule, Joe Estevez and like two or three other players vanish after the first act of _Arizona Werewolf_ , with only token acknowledgment that they even existed after that.
In 1969 there was a newsstand magazine which had a lot of stills from the film, including photos of Peter Cushing in scenes with topless women which may not have appeared in the American version of the film.
Best way to watch it: over the top horror hosts framing the weirdness plus it features the less sleazy and outrageous version of the first murder scene, which makes the film marginally easier to take seriously.
Ah, memories. Characters that are set up only to vanish for the climax? I remember when I was a kid watching the animated Transformers: The Movie back in the late 80s. Ultra Magnus was set up to be the replacement leader meant to take over from Optimus Prime. Instead he gets in one fight and runs off. Then he's never even mentioned again, let alone seen.
Oh I've got an answer, Robin! Claudette, the awful Lisa's equally awful mother in the STAGGERINGLY AWFUL opus that is "The Room". Claudette shows up long enough to encourage her daughter to stay with a man Lisa claims hit her (he didn't) because he has money. And then Claudette announces a diagnosis of breast cancer with all the emotion of announcing you've missed your bus. And that's about it for her character.
It's one of the greatest damn movies, like, ever. I too have viewed it quite a few times. It's well nigh unbelievable that it was arbitrarily slapped with a totally unnecessary X rating when it was first released in 1969. And it still went on to win the Best Picture Oscar for that same year!
The first thing this film did was remind me of EYES WITHOUT A FACE. I think if instead of Cushing running around killing young Women, his Wife would have been the Killer.
Well, I mean, this, Dr Knox, the Creeping Flesh and the Frankenstein series are his only proper "mad scientist" roles. But Frankenstein has no scruples and practically no sentimentality, whereas the ones in Corruption and Creeping Flesh have some scruples and are largely driven by their emotions.
What prime minister was the photographer father-in-law to? Also, doesn't the police inspector and his assistant kind of disappear in the third act of Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed?
Wild and wacky 1960s style crazy party fun that turns very very dark and people end up dead and shit like that? Sign me up! And there's a mad scientist too? Even better!
Vanessa Howard was the most under utilized actress. Her performance in Girly was incredible. I remember the first time I watched this as primarily a Cushing and Grindhouse fan and then spotted her. I had hoped she would play a character more integral to the plot. Regardless, I did enjoy Corruption, minus that horrible "it was all a dream" ending.
Somehow, I didn't see the ending as "It was all just a dream". Instead, first time watching, I interpreted it as Cushing's character having his life flash before his eyes, back to the moment before everything went to Hell. Who knows? =/
“Hi, I’ve come back” is one of the most funniest abrupt movie moments I’ve seen in a long time lol
Felt like she was talking to us the audience. Hi, 'memba me, plot convince number 43?
It gets me every time. It's brilliantly funny.
"They seem to have wandered in from an episode of The Avengers." Yes, and from three different doorways at once. And that Sergeant Pepper's outfit--what the actual hell?
I thought the first two of the quartet looked like Mr Kidd and Mr Wint (three years before "Diamonds Are Forever").

That kiss pucker at the end was terrifying enough to earn a warning to anyone planning to see this flic.
Yep, there go the last remaining tatters of my libido.

Today was a really long day.
I'm going to sit back, eat my dinner, and enjoy some Dark Corners Reviews of this sick world.
"Corruption" looks like it leaves a LOT to be desired, but Cushing only had to wait 6 years before he could roll his r's and threaten "your rebel friends" in the first Star Wars feature.

"How's your kiss of life" seems a great chat up line😂😂
It could well be dropped into any of the Bond films.
Yay, Peter Cushing! It's a crime against culture he wasn't cast as Professor 'iggins, it is. Or Rex Harrison as Dr. Frankenstein. My Fair Lady could work mated to Franjenstein with minimal changes to the script.

@@willmfrank This would be a VASTLY more entertaining and Cushing-centric version of Frankenstein Created Woman than the bland Denberg-centric film that we got.
Dean Stockwell’s character up and disappears about halfway through “Paris, Texas”. Pity because I was enjoying him and Harry Dean Stanton as brothers!
"Leech Woman" is another movie with a plot sort of like this, and it's also one where the woman is the mastermind behind the killings
If I recall correctly, she actually committed the murders using a lethal ring.
"Welcome back to my dark corner of this sick world." "AAAAAAAH!!!" I'll be honest: this may be the best opening for a horror movie retrospective channel I could ask for. =)
I am imagining Austin Powers screaming: "It's mad science time, baby!".
The scene where the criminal gang appears remind me more of another Monty Python sketch: The Visitors, Wacky, uninvited guests making a mess of things that ends with killings. Were it not for their wacky nature the home invasion would not seem out of place in A Clockwork Orange.
"I'm don't like the tone of your voice!" "BLAM!" "Right! Let's have Jerusalem..." "AND DID THOSE FEET... IN ANCIENT TIMES..."
Late 60s. For some reason I quite like the aesthetics.
Had to laugh at Han Solo strangling Grand Moff Tarkin, though.
Corruption's a hoot. Just go with it and have fun!
4:38 It never occurred to me until this moment but Peter Cushing looks very much like Charles Dance. He could easily pass for his father.
That home invasion - not so much Clockwork Orange as Battery Powered Banana

The out of control laser scene is just bat 💩 crazy & I really wish that was the proper end of the film
I suspect it was maybe a "test audience" situation, where nobody liked the idea that everyone dies at the end.
It still doesn't manage to be as over the top as the one from Logan's Run.
"Call da fuzz!" No wonder Cushing went off on one for this film. It's actually embarassing to see such wretchedly terrible actors next to the great Peter Cushing.
I love my horror thrillers to have a jaunty jazz soundtrack. Really helps the mood…

It's possibly the only intelligent thing Lynn does all movie, but she's so busy throwing John under the bus by this point that the viewer doesn't usually respect her for it (or at least I didn't).

Pretty much all the "action" scenes in the film are sped up, I assume due to safety concerns.
A decent watch... British style. A retro, surreal version of "Eyes Without A Face...". No matter the movie or role Peter Cushing is always the best.
How fun lol. Love to see it now. I really like Cushing. And those "60s" films are always a good watch for a scream or two ; )
The wonderful Dave Lodge. His catch-phrase in Q "I was in Cockleshell Heroes with José Ferrer" always tickled me.

Where is Creature Features aired? I haven't seen it since the early 70s on Chicago tv.

Well then, you need too review “Frankenhooker”.
I'd blame it on wanting to be like _A Clockwork Orange_ but it came out first by a couple years or so...
"Is no one else on this train???"
That made me laugh far more than it should have.

There's nothing worse than a movie "photographer" who can't even hold a camera correctly.

Monster A Go Go of course. But I'm fixing that.
In 1969 there was a newsstand magazine which had a lot of stills from the film, including photos of Peter Cushing in scenes with topless women which may not have appeared in the American version of the film.
That's an alternate version of the first killing scene, used in continental European versions of the film, IIRC.

Thanks for this. Unlike the usual, monotonal, mirth-free film reviews, you gave me genuine belly laughs. ✌
The colorful late 1960s.
It seems like they mixed in random pages from the script for another movie in the last act.
Please forgive me if this isn't allowed, but I found a really nice copy of this film on a RUclips channel called Creature Features . Worth a watch.
Best way to watch it: over the top horror hosts framing the weirdness plus it features the less sleazy and outrageous version of the first murder scene, which makes the film marginally easier to take seriously.
