The Pit and the Pendulum
Director Stuart Gordon's ('Re-Animator') classy remake of the 1961 cult classic loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe's classic short story, this well-rendered and intelligent horror film was filmed on location in a spooky Italian castle and tells the convoluted story of a mad priest who devises exquisitely painful ways of getting his victims to confess to dabbling in witchcraft based on the Edgar Allan Poe story. Starts Rona De Ricci, Oliver Reed and Lance Henriksen.
