Shock Corridor
Director: Samuel Fuller
Year Released: 1963
Rating: 0.5
A reporter willingly admits himself to a mental hospital to 'win the Pulitzer' ... only thing is, all the patients he speaks with tell him part of the story and mentally wander off before revealing the killer's identity (what a convenient device that is). People everywhere find this to be a stellar effort, so I'm out in left field (as usual) thinking it a campy, ridiculous picture that has its message overwhelmed by all the psychobabble and hilariously overwrought acting. Having a 'slight' background in the field I'll just say I couldn't suspend my disbelief and mindlessly go along with the charade.
