Andrea, a fictional amalgam created from real psychiatric patients' experiences, grapples with severe memory loss as a result of receiving electroshock therapy. Using distortion, tracking lines and static to evoke her fuzzy state of mind and neurological impairment, Corrupted records her struggle to remember as she faces the deleterious effects of the therapy on her mind, body and soul.
Reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
