Corrupción (Corruption, 1968, Robert Hartford-Davis)
Un doctor llega al extremo -incluso a asesinar- para restaurar el rostro quemado de su novia.
Edición de lujo con mil chuches. Bastante gore para ser de 1968, junto con Hershell Gordon Lewis, bastante precoces, y con Peter Cushing de sádico psicópata... bastante inusual en su carrera.
Fue doblada en castellano por TVE para su emisión en AluCine.
Un prestigioso cirujano (Peter Cushing) va a una fiesta junto a su novia ,una modelo publicitaria. En la fiesta tiene una pelea con un fotógrafo y por accidente golpean una lámpara que cae sobre su mujer, desfigurándole el rostro.
