Austerily mediocre terror film that contains thrills , chills , surprises , violence , creepy happenings , Swinging London atmospere , and considerable death . Furthermore , packing a symbolic attack on the ethics of science by practicing bad surgical expèriments and extracting fluids from their pituitary gland for reconfigurate the burned face. This surprising as well as terrible flick displays some thrilling set pieces as Sir John and his girlfriend are chasing Terry on the beach and run through some water, climbing on some rocks . As well as an amazing and silly final with a laser ray that goes wrong resulting in a killing spree . It belongs to sub-genre of mad surgeons discovering that can restore the beauty to their women by murdering more and more people , whose main representation is ¨Eyes Without a Face¨ by George Franju , this splendid picture is generally characterized by unforgettable images that owed a great deal to early cinema in general and German Expressionism , likewise it established a string of imitations as Jess Frank's Doctor Orloff saga , this ¨Corruption¨ (1968) and even Pedro Almodovar himself with the movie titled "The Skin I Live In" (2011) . Although ¨Corruption¨¨ the film passed European censors upon its original release in 1968 the disturbing scenes about beheading , slitting , facial surgery and other grisly killings still caused controversy . Good acting by Peter Cushing as a brilliant but demented surgeon haunted by a tragedy who abducts girls removing their faces and tries to graft them onto the head on his beloved sweetheart . However , Cushing is miscast due to his disagreeable role , that's why Peter used to play upright , honest and brave characters , no heinous killers . He's finely accompanied by a good British cast , such as : Sue Lloyd, Kate O'Mara , Noel Trevarthen , David Lodge, Anthony Booth, Vanessa Howard, among others.
The picture packs a colorful atmosphere and strange color by the fine cinematographer Peter Newbrook, who produced too, and subsequently directed the Cult terror : The Asphyx . The movie was middlingly directed by Robert Hatford Davies who often used pseudonym as Michael Burrows , author of some other Horror films and other genres as ¨Corruption¨ (with Peter Cushing) , ¨The Fiend¨ (with Patrick McNee) ,¨The Sandwich Man¨, ¨Ritual¨, ¨The Smashing Bird I Used to Know¨ , ¨Nobody Ordered Love¨, ¨Gonks Go Beat¨, ¨Saturday Night Out¨, ¨Crosstrap¨ and Blaxploitation movies as ¨Black Gunn¨ (with Jim Brown) and ¨ The Take¨ (Billy Dee Williams) . Rating : 5/10. The motion picture will appeal to British horror enthusiasts , but only for Peter Cushing fans .
