Shock Corridor (Samuel Fuller, 1963)
plot synopsis: Seeking a Pulitzer Prize, a reporter has himself committed to a mental hospital to investigate a murder. As he closes in on the killer, madness closes in on him.
While it’s not QUITE the masterwork that The Naked Kiss was, Fuller’s 1963 psychological thriller is still a brilliant study of the effects of insanity on a sane person masquerading as a schlocky b-movie. Those last ten minutes will stay with you.
