Shock Corridor
1963 America is a madhouse. Sam Fuller’s lurid tabloid classic plays like a brilliantly subversive combination of Krafft-Ebing and The National Enquirer. Ingeniously designed on a shoestring by Eugene Lourie and starkly shot by the great Stanley Cortez. One of the best B pictures ever, whose profundity lies in its answer to the existential question, “Who killed Sloan in the kitchen?”

Her work includes: Poison Ivy starring Drew Barrymore and Tom Skerritt, The Rage: Carrie II, and Dance of the Damned.
Good impassioned commentary. But Katt Shea mispronounces “Pulitzer”
as “Pewlitzer,” like the doctor in the movie who utters what I consider
the best bad line in the history of movies: “What a tragedy — an insane
mute will win the Pewlitzer Prize.”
