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.

"Very good early 70’s Spanish Giallo"
"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."
"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."
"An ambitious spanish giallo that wants to reach the higher levels of something like Argento. Has at least three greatly executed horror sequences"
"Great movie!"
"This one was a great discovery. Amazing transfer. Let's hope that it gets the 4K treatment one day. Nice slipcover too."
"Highly recommend for Giallo fans. Fun piece of trivia: the director is the uncle of actor Javier Bardem."
"Got this from the Rad sale, glad I managed to pick it up!"
"Early 70’s Giallo"
