The Pit & The Pendulum (1991) is a movie that I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a Spanish lord in the 1400s known for declaring women witches and torturing them. When he kidnaps a wife and plans to cut out her tongue and make a special example of her, her husband tries to save his wife and bring down the lord.
This movie is directed by Stuart Gordon (Fortress) and stars Lance Henriksen (Pumpkinhead), Stephen Lee (The Negotiator), Mark Margolis (Scarface), Carolyn Purdy-Gordon (Re-Animator), Jeffrey Combs (The Frightners) and Frances Bay (Happy Gilmore).
This movie did a solid job with sets, attire and props to create the appropriate look and feel. The cast is a whose who of 90s horror. Henriksen is perfect and the supporting cast is a lot of fun. There's some fun conversations in this starting right off the bat with the bread convo opening and continuing until the final scene. There's full nudity in here and some tremendous torture devices. There's a scene using chains ⛓ that's outstanding. The last 15 minutes of this movie is very entertaining.
Overall, this movie is far from perfect but it's definitely worth a viewing. I would score this a 6.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
