PIT AND THE PENDULUM 1961 (TGG GROUP)

A Vincent Price/Roger Corman classic.

Price is Nicholas Medina, a man slowly driven m,ad by the fact he might have buried his wife alive. John Kerr is his wife's brother and sexy Barbara Steele is his wife. It turns out that his wife and her lover, the doctor played by Anthony Carbone are trying to drive him insane, which they do, but with dire consequences.

Price's performance is perfect for this Poe adaptation and he really gets into it, especially after he is insane and starts to believe he is his own father! Not much more to add here, if you've seen the movie or know anything about horror you are familiar with the story. TGG Group has released this is a beautiful widescreen print from the MGM library. Recommended!!
