    I don't like it very much, the political intentions are too straightforward. But it is very expressive, with hard black shadows, the lighting gradually changes from full light to strong contrast shadows, the spa bath with its head sticking out, singing and dancing combined with fear, and finally the rainstorm and the downward face. Three kinds of people: war, racism, and nuclear testing. The way they escape is to fantasize about going to war and making a living, fantasizing about being a white...

    Listening to these stories that make people doubt the world all day long, they are also subjected to brutal electric shock treatment in a lunatic asylum, as well as indifferent and utilitarian doctors who use their power to sexually abuse female patients' employees. Even if he finally found out that the staff in the insane asylum was the murderer, he won the Pulitzer Prize, but the dark world left him in the insane asylum, the rainy hospital corridors, the crazy roaring Johnny, this crazy...

    Just as emotions are contagious, mental illness is also contagious - a normal person who stays in a mental hospital for a long time, especially after receiving various tests, may never return to the real world. Many people can swear that they won't be affected, and that's because he's not in it yet, the twist, it doesn't take much time or pressure. So, I choose not to be...

    The director is Samuel Fuller, known as the "American B-movie, film noir, independent film - the godfather of the third line". The film was deliberately shot with black and white film to achieve a weird and thrilling "black atmosphere". The visualization of the inner world of mental illness is quite good, especially the three color streams of consciousness have deep recall, in fact, this is a black Freud film [laughs] ] Samsung and a...

    With the dissertation-style social investigation carried out in a mental hospital, Fuller's images and narratives are all sleazy and precise. The directional irony of the three stories is layered upon layers of madness, as well as layers upon layers of America in reality, one wave after another. The waves beat our...

    Why does he like to use this heroine, the face shape is really not very good, at that time, there were really many stories about mental hospitals, each with its own characteristics. There should be a whole similar bean...

    Too deliberately intentional, too obvious, B-grade films are the reasons why the reporters of B-grade films go mad, not enough critical, the ending is not good, and the most important thing is that the overall fluency is not high, and there is no sense of...

    The design of the mental hospital is rather bloody, but other than that, the plot design is very good, the story has a sense of rhythm, and it is pushed to a climax step by step when the suspense is spread. The movie's idea of ​​not being mad and not living in order to create is very classic, and it also brought a lot of inspiration to later works. Unfortunately, indiscriminately applying it without understanding psychoanalysis still reduces its credibility. Like the editing and...

Shock Corridor quotes

  • Dr. L.G. Cristo: A man can't tamper with a mind by living in a mental hospital and go through all kinds of tests and expects to come out of it sane.

  • Cathy: He was sane enough to write that story. He's been sane for weeks. Don't you stand there and tell me there's nothing you can do for him. Why? Why does he look like that?
