Corruption. 1968.

A doctor goes to extreme lengths and even murder to restore his girlfriend's badly scarred face.

This was a bit of a homage to Eyes Without A Face, this wasn't released through Hammer but Columbia pictures were the distributors of the film, it's good to see Peter Cushing as a respected doctor turning into a killer. You can clearly see he doesn't want to kill anyone yet he is pushed to kill for the love of his girlfriend played by Sue Lloyd. This has all the hallmarks of a great horror, tense moments, killings, dark background score.

Peter Cushing did go on to say the only reason he starred in this was the script is good, but investors couldn't agree to how the film should end and what we got was a result of creative differences, which gives it a twisted dream ending which gave it a nice touch.
