Review of The Pit and the Pendulum (1991) by David D — 29 Mar 2010
There is a little from the Poe story of the same title and a little from Poe's Cask of Amontillado in this film but it is mostly an original story and not a bad one. It makes good use of its limited budget in presenting some quality production values.
The performances are generally good and there are some very dark touches of tongue-in-cheek humor. Not all that gory by today's standards. Nudity and sexual elements without much real eroticism or pornographic impact.
Lance Henriksen, as always, does a good job in his role and brings dignity and a bit of sympathy to his villainous character.
