Shock Corridor
1963, 101 minutes, Rated M
Featuring electro shock therapy, cannibalistic nymphomaniacs, allusions to incest, and the ravings of sundry opera-singing psychos, infantile nuclear physicits and a black White Supremist, this B-movie psychodrama about a journalist who commits himself to a mental ward in an effort to crack an unsolved murder case - and win the Pulitzer Prize - is a classic tale of descent into madness by the undisupter master of hardboiled American film noir, Sam Fuller.
Shock Corridor is widely considered to be Fuller's great masterpiece, providing a dark, sinister and lurid journey into American dementia set against the background of the Cold War and civil Rights movement.
