“Peter Cushing has always been my favorite actor,” says Grindhouse co-founder Bob Murawski. “Therefore I am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to release Corruption. It’s an overlooked, under-appreciated gem in the Cushing canon, a psychotic super-shocker that fully delivers in every way.”
The late Robert Hartford-Davis helmed another horror, 1970’s Incense For The Damned and dipped into the Blaxploitation genre twice with Jim Brown’s Black Gunn (’72) and The Take (’74).
