Anecdotes

Autres versions
Like most British horror films of the Sixties, rumors of a continental version with added nudity and violence too strong for the UK version are rife. But in the case of "Corruption," these rumors are true. "Laser Killer", as the continental version is titled, adds many more exploitation elements, most most notably in the scene where Cushing kills a Soho prostitute. In "Laser," the prostitute character is played by a topless Marianne Morris instead of negligee-wearing Jan Waters, and Cushing's character cuts her throat and mauls her chest before eviscerating her. This version was originally shown in Scandinavia and the Far East and is available from several US based public domain video companies.

Corruption of the innocent.

A surgeon discovers that he can restore the beauty to his girlfriend's scarred face by murdering other women and extracting fluids from their pituitary gland.However the effects only last for a short time,so he has to kill more and more women.It is ultimately a killing spree which ends with considerable death and disaster."Corruption" aka "Laser Killer" is a surprisingly sleazy British shocker.The murder of semi-nude Soho prostitute is quite nasty and depraved.Peter Cushing's performance as an insane surgeon is brilliant."Corruption" ain't tasteful and restrained.To put it simply it's an exploitation flick with incredibly noble Peter Cushing in the main role.That's why it's worth checking out.Connect it with "Diversions" and have fun.7 eyes without a face out of 10.
