Shock Corridor (1963)


A mystery by Samuel Fuller.
A newspaper reporter wants to solve a murder case that occurred in a mental hospital. He pretends to be crazy and gets his stripper girlfriend to back up his story, pretending to be his sister. He is admitted to the mental hospital and as he tries to discover the murderer, he slowly loses his sanity.
The premise was really good and it seemed like a cool idea, but the production value was so low that it didn't end up working. The plot and characters are good and there are some good scenes, but with old film making techniques, these things are difficult to appreciate. I'm rating it o.k.
