Sunday Scaries presents: Shock Corridor

  • 325 E Main Street Norman, OK, 73069 United States (map)

Join us for legendary cult filmmaker Samuel Fulller’s wild Shock Corridor (1963). Widely regarded as one of the greatest B movies ever (and a favorite of Martin Scorsese), the film stars Peter Breck as an ambitious who gets committed to a mental institution to pursue a story.

From The Ringer: “As a depiction of life in a mental hospital, Shock Corridor is undoubtedly crass and sensationalistic… Shock Corridor’s political incorrectness and political acuity are inseperable. Using a mental hospital as a microcosm of a country whose prosperous post-war facade is slowly cracking up is the sort of faux-lowbrow cunning that turns a nasty little B-movie into an enduring classic- not just unsane, but undeniable.”
