The Corpse (1971)

Sadistic Madness


This 1971 film is known as "Crucible of Horror" and "The Corpse". This is not to be confused with the 1971 film "Crucible of Terror" starring Mike Raven. Both horror films came out in 1971 and have a similar title.

Michael Gough plays Walter Eastwood - a sadistic madman towards his wife and daughter. His son Rupert Eastwood (played by Simon Gough - Michael's real life son) is just as bad.  Jane and Edith Eastwood plans to murder Michael for they have grown tired of his ways.

It's a great but twisted film from start to finish. The ending of the film will leave you guessing, wondering "what just happened?" "Was is all a dream - or was it real?"

This is an odd film that is worth a watch if you like evil or twisted "family secrets" type of horror movies.

7.5/10
