Like most British horror films of the Sixties, rumors of a continental version with added nudity and violence too strong for the UK version are rife. But in the case of "Corruption," these rumors are true. "Laser Killer", as the continental version is titled, adds many more exploitation elements, most most notably in the scene where Cushing kills a Soho prostitute. In "Laser," the prostitute character is played by a topless Marianne Morris instead of negligee-wearing Jan Waters, and Cushing's character cuts her throat and mauls her chest before eviscerating her. This version was originally shown in Scandinavia and the Far East and is available from several US based public domain video companies.
Peter Cushing had just starred in another film with his co-star Vanessa Howard in Le vampire a soif (1968) in the same year, 1968.
First role and nude scene for Marianne Morris.
