27.1.13

the pit and the pendulum (1991)

"Stand witness to the work of the holy inquisition."
Spanish inquisitor Torquemada (Lance Hendrickson), takes a fancy to Maria (Rona De Ricci), and being a sadist decides to treat her to some of his most fiendish tortures.
Well made, perhaps too well made, version of the Poe tale, as my only problem was the cleanness of everything, it needed to look darker, more menacing and dirtier.
