Plot
A low-budget thriller set in a psychiatric hospital.
Sinekatalog’s take
Samuel Fuller's pulpy shocker sends a reporter into an insane asylum to solve a murder. Lurid, feverish and politically barbed, it is a cult classic of B-movie provocation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
