This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Haunt Love) was limited to 3,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Some men crave power, others success, but no man is able to resist temptation... Williams (Jamie Gillis) owes a debt. A debt he may not be able to repay. His daughter (Kelly Nichols) is a beautiful innocent, thrust into a world of carnal vengeance. His mistress (Vanessa del Rio) provides comfort, but may not be able to save his fate. His employee (George Payne) tries to help, but cannot resist his sinister desires. Only his brother (Bobby Astyr) holds the final, shocking surprise in this web of erotic deceit.

Directed by Roger Watkins (LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET), CORRUPTION is a dark tale of the frailty and hypocrisy of morality, expertly photographed by Larry Revene (ROOMMATES, DERANGED) and featuring a stellar supporting cast of Tiffany Clark, Samantha Fox, and Tish Ambrose. Vinegar Syndrome presents this acclaimed erotic masterpiece newly restored and on Blu-ray for the first time!

Reviews

Gillis for mayor

"The crème de la creme of early 80s bummer porn. Essential release as this restoration looks incredible, a fair few stars are here in the cast but Jamie Gillis is the greatest."

— Ben C. (5/5)

Watkins

"No adult filmmaker could top Watkins for style and craft and this is one of his finest outings. There's zero chance David Lynch wasn't familiar with this one, as he pulls from it beautifully and liberally throughout his career. A film to prove against the silly argument that adult films aren't real films. Incredible restoration and of course the greatest easter egg special feature of all time."

— William M. (5/5)

Great release

"Melusine did a fantastic job with this release. The transfer is great. Keep up the good work!"

— Ronald S. (5/5)

Let’s be honest: I didn’t

"Let’s be honest: I didn’t buy Corruption because I was dying to watch Peter Cushing go full psycho with a scalpel. Yeah, wrong Corruption, I know. But the real reason I threw money at Vinegar Syndrome was because The Last House on Dead End Street is hiding in there like a ghost in the attic. That’s right — a damn easter egg. No menu, no fanfare. Just quietly tucked into the special features like they smuggled it past the censors. And for the sickos who know, that’s gold. Dead End Street is raw, ugly, and mean — the kind of film that makes your skin itch. It’s like watching someone’s trauma reel through a crackly 16mm projector in hell. And now it’s finally on Blu-ray, hiding behind some skin flick. . . :)"

— Oliver T. (5/5)

Really interesting performances. Film looks

"Really interesting performances. Film looks great and some great (hidden) extras!"

— Dave C. (4/5)

VinSin Salvation

"Legend Jamie Gillis gives it his all to bring a grounded and relatable performance as a strained businessman who owes the ultimate debt he can’t pay. He’s great but the movie while I really liked it gets bogged down somewhat in avant-garde weirdness amongst some less than desirable sex scenes albeit taking place in a very interesting peekorama strip club full o surprises. Overall though this movie has uniqueness in spades. This blu ray release is spectacular regardless. Recommend!"

— Derek T. (4/5)

One of the more artistic adult features out there

"Roger Watkins was an interesting filmmaker. His adult features aren't that sexy, at least to me, but he really put a lot into them. Corruption might be his best, and the Blu-ray restoration looks amazing."

— Adam L. (5/5)

Ok

"Ok film. Nice hidden movie"

— Daniel M. (3/5)

Strange filmmaker

"Roger Watkins makes some weird films. Perhaps most famous for Last House on Dead End Street (included here as a bonus on this disc). Love Jamie Gillis but this one is fairly dull and not very erotic."

— Cary C. (2/5)

VS-098

"Roger Watkins end of Darkness! Fabulous release!"

— Nicolas A. (5/5)
