Corridors of Blood (1958)

- written June 3rd, 2011

Summary: Dr. Thomas Bolton fights for the use of anesthetic in surgery and uses himself as a guinea pig in those experiments but soon finds himself addicted to the chemicals!           Overall: Any films with Boris Karloff are interesting at the very least for his performances. It’s not truly a horror film but more of just a thriller. We see the trial and error of the chemicals and the creation of what is today, an obviously important part of surgery. But in this film, although created for the same reasons we use it today, we see the effects when used in other ways…addictive purposes. Decent film, sorta different. Worth a viewing.           Comparison: Gross Anatomy meets The Elephant Man
