Shock Corridor: Exploitation as Art!

Cinematography by Stanley Cortez. Directed by Samuel Fuller.
Cortez was DP for 'The Night of the Hunter' which I highly recommend.
See...Stanley Cortez play with shadows and light to explore the depths of human depravity! What hides in the darkness of man's soul?

Tremble at the sight of patriarchy staring down on a damsel in distress! Are all these heads above her real? Or are these voices in her head?

Never before has the internal struggle of sanity been rendered on film with such precision and insight!
See...Samuel Fuller highlight the eyes of his characters and send you tumbling through the the window of their souls.
Watch...As shadows split the faces of the characters as so many personalities!

And then ready your mind as one of the most brilliant exploitation artists of our time switches from black and white to full real life color! Colors so bright and vivid, we suggest you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.

Do the colors represent reality? Are our dreams more real than the lives we wake to? Why is Fuller cramming in stock footage of foreign cultures?

Bear witness to...A black man, so bamboozled by society he has turned on his own race! A man who stokes racial hatred against himself! Can he, or any of these people be helped? Dare to open your eye and watch the weakest of society crushed in the gears of the unrelenting bureaucratic machine.

'Shock Corridor'...The only movie brave enough to venture into the walls of an asylum!
'Shock Corridor'...The movie that dares do dissect the asomatous aspects of humanity!
'Shock Corridor'... The film that asks: Is your sanity a fair price for the truth?
'Shock Corridor'...The movie that will leave you asking, who is truly the mad one?!
Recommended.
