The Pit & The Pendulum (Video)
|
|
The Video says: No one is safe from the deadly clutches of the Spanish Inquisition and it's machines of ultimate terror. Under command of Torquemada, the Grand Inquisitir, graves are dug up, crypts desecrated, ancient corpses exhumed and flogged, peasants taken, stripped, beaten and tortured... All in the name of God. A young baker's wife, Maria, is falsely accused of witchcraft by Torquemada and is taken along with her husband Antonio. Torquemada is enchanted by Maria's beauty and subjects her to heinous tortures, hoping to prove that his own desires are a result of her magic. For Antonio, Torquemada's ultimate machine of horror awaits, the razor-sharp Pendulum poised over the inescapable Pit of hell. Maria must save Antonio and bring down the evil Torquemada, as she is the only one who knows Torquemada's weakness... His lust for her. Running Time: 93 mins Version: Ex-Rental PAL Colour Certificate: 18 My Opinion: I think this is Lance Henriksen's best movie. An excellent remake of the classic Edgar Allen Poe short story. It gave me that horrible feeling of injustice that makes you want the good guys to win. Makes you wonder how things like the Spanish Inquisition ever took place... |
