The Pit and the Pendulum (1961)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/scope 85m
Director: Roger Corman
Cast: Vincent Price, Barbara Steele, John Kerr

Synopsis:

A British nobleman travels to Spain to learn more of the demise of his daughter, who had married the son of a malign inquisitor.

Review:

Corman scores a coup in employing the services of Barbara Steele, by now queen of Italian horror thanks to Black Sunday, and the titular set piece is a bravura piece of staging. Elsewhere, however, this sags beneath a wordy script and a paucity of incident.
