The Medical Jungle That Doctors Don't Talk About!
'Shock Corridor' is pulp master Samuel Fuller at his best form. Like usually in Fuller's better films, 'Shock Corridor' is much more than it looks on the surface. 'Shock Corridor' tells a story about obsessed journalist Johnny Barret (Peter Breck) who, with the help of his girlfriend (Constance Towers) convinces authorities that he's insane and is locked into mental institution to investigate still unsolved murder that took place inside the hospital. This dream (or more like nightmare) like psychological thriller is filled with tense moments mixed with nice surreal scenes, and big portions of irony - Barret is so obsessed in his work that he starts to lose grip with reality. The whole cast does superb job starting with Peter Breck and finishing with chilling performance of Hari Rhodes as black 'white supremacist'.
