Michael Gough delivers a disturbingly sinister performance as a domineering sadist and family gaslighter in this tense, vérité-style psychological horror from director Viktors Ritelis. With strong performances from Sharon Gurney and BAFTA-winner Yvonne Mitchell, and an unsettling musical score from John Hotchkis, Crucible of Horror (also known as The Corpse) has been painstakingly restored by Hammer from 4K scans made from the original film negatives.
Walter Eastwood rules his family with a rod of iron, terrorising his wife and daughter with little provocation. Following a particularly vicious beating, his wife decides there's only one solution to their ongoing torment – Walter must die.
Extras:
New commentary with William Fowler and Vic Pratt, co-authors of The Bodies Beneath and creators/curators of the BFI’s ongoing Flipside series
New interview with author and horror expert Jonathan Rigby.
