Corruption is a 1968 British horror film directed by Robert Hartford-Davis and starring Peter Cushing, Sue Lloyd, Noel Trevarthen, Kate O'Mara, David Lodge, and Antony Booth.[1] The screenplay is by Derek Ford and Donald Ford,

The film is a loose riff on the plot of the French horror film Eyes Without a Face (1960) and is notable for its atypical contemporary setting (most of Cushing's Gothic horror films being set in the past) and its extreme (for the time) gore and violence.[2][3][4]
