Corridors of Blood - English Import DVD | Classic Horror Movie for Halloween & Movie Nights

A beautifully restored black and white classic film by DigicomTv. Excellent audio and video quality. A must see for the entire family!The story begins with a prominent surgeon in 1840's England who is determined to perform painless operations by finding a way to anesthetize his patients while performing amputations. Boris Karloff gives an extraordinary performance as Doctor Bolton, and is a kind, compassionate doctor who treats hospital patients as well as the poor and indigent.Dr. Bolton continues his search for the exact formula to produce an effective anesthetic, experimenting on himself. Eventually, the doctor becomes addicted to his own inhalation of chemicals used to produce the anesthesia, and begins to lose his credibility and expertise as an eminent London surgeon. He eventually finds himself in a crime-ridden and disreputable area of London known as 'Seven Dials', where people are purposely being murdered so that their bodies can be sold to the hospital for money. Dr. Bolton soon resorts to these thieves and cut-throats to provide him with the chemicals he needs to continue his anesthesia experiments by writing fraudulent death certificates for those who are being murdered in 'Seven Dials'.Needless to say, poor Doctor Bolton is in a downward spiral of addiction, and the necessity to procure the drugs he needs to continue his experimentation. It is clear what sort of demise Doctor Bolton will arrive at if he continues down this desperate path, but watch the ending to see how things may actually come right in the end.A really great story which leaves you guessing as to how anything good can come of this tortured Doctor and his well intentioned experiments to make human operations painless. There is tragedy mixed with hope in this film, and it is certainly well worth the viewing. Boris Karloff is at his best in this role, and exhibits a wonderful and convincing performance throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and I think you will, too!!!!
