NYMPHOS!
Despite being a semi-interesting movie about a bunch of crazy people, temporary sanity as a plot device, nymphomaniacs, bad voice overs, black clan members, forced acting, and forced themes, Shock Corridor is actually a pretty shitty movie.
I really couldnt find anything to appreciate beyond the whole obsession and madness deal so im just going to list a bunch of observations.
The cop behind the desk who talks to the reporters girlfriend automatically assumes that the reporter is mentally ill for some reason…
lots of really bad superimposition.
I love the forced demonstration of mental illness. assuming the audience are morons who will just stare at the screen and go “well only a crazy person could do that…”
NYMPHOS!
Apparently the big guy can choose what meds he gets? or are they all the same?
POOberty.
Yeah i dont know any legitimately crazy people but im sure that they ALL have brief moments of intense sanity.
All this considered the action was pretty good.

Mission accomplished Schlock Corridor, mission accomplished.
