'Corruption' aka 'The Lazer Killer'(1968) – Robert Hartford-Davis.

This uniquely British, shockingly lurid, conspicuously 60s take on 'Les Yeux Sans Visage' finds respected surgeon (Peter Cushing) profaning his Hippocratic oath in his increasingly gruesome attempts to repair the dreadfully scarred face of his greatly beloved young wife (Sue Lloyd). Arguably one of Peter Cushing's most singular, multi-faceted performances, his initially reserved, public school sang-froid irrevocably corrupted by his wife's desperate need for the temporary succour of this altogether murderous surgical procedure! The first time we observe the good doctor violently assault a young woman, maniacally severing her head for the fleshly ingredients therein, remains wholly indelible! Not only compelling grand guignol entertainment, 'Corruption' is a fascinating 60s time capsule, garish dayglo/Baroque fashions, sleek, open-topped sportsters, hip crash pads, 'wild' swinging shindigs, bizarre beatnik thugs, and an outrageously laser-slashing climax, Hammer Films only rarely got this groovy, man! A relatively undiscovered Jewel of vintage British macabre, 'Corruption' is briskly directed by Hartford-Davis, has a gifted cast, with Sue Lloyd and Peter Cushing on truly immaculate form, Lloyd's manipulative, increasingly shrill performance is not readily forgotten.
