This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Chris Miller (former Spanish child star, Marisol) lives with her stepmother Ruth (Jean Seberg; Breathless) in a large secluded mansion in the countryside. Both women have been traumatized by the mysterious disappearance of Chris' father but their isolation is soon interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious young drifter, Barney (Barry Stokes; Prey), who they take on as a handyman. All the while, an Unknown scythe wielding killer has been stalking the area, leaving an ever growing body count, and it's not long before the women grow increasingly suspicious of Barney...

A bloody and twist filled giallo from acclaimed filmmaker Juan Antonio Bardem (Death of a Cyclist), THE CORRUPTION OF CHRIS MILLER has remained one of the hardest to see of all Spanish produced gialli. Lushly photographed by Juan Gelpi (Crypt of the Living Dead) and scored by Waldo de los Rios (House That Screamed), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present this under-seen masterpiece of early 70s Euro horror in a brand new 4k restoration and in its original scope framing, for the first time on home video.

Corruption of Chris Miller

"Very good early 70’s Spanish Giallo"

Aaron P. (5/5)

Giallo Gem

"This film is now out of print which is a shame because it is such a nice genre oddity. So many weird elements and some good twists and turns to the story. Beautiful production design and cinematography in this one."

Summer M. (5/5)

Fantastic Giallo

"The final shots of this giallo will stay in your head long after it’s over. Unfortunate that this now sits in the OOP section."

Dillon G. (5/5)

Spanish giallo

"An ambitious spanish giallo that wants to reach the higher levels of something like Argento. Has at least three greatly executed horror sequences"

Georg R. (5/5)

Amazing Spanish Giallo

"This one was a great discovery. Amazing transfer. Let's hope that it gets the 4K treatment one day. Nice slipcover too."
