Just watched an absolute ANCIENT movie... but still a good one...
The pit and the pendulum.....
Unlike the book (which was the reason i wanted to see it), it has nothing to do with a sick person's ravings about torture... it was about the 1600's church... and the witch burnings....
A young couple, gets seperated in a crowd.... a priest sees the girl, and takes a "liking" to her.... has her imprisoned for witchcraft.... her husband tries to free her, and gets imprisoned for that.... The priest naturally, makes sure that she gets convicted (if you could call it a trial), of the said witchcraft. Since she is now HIS prisoner, he takes advantage of the situation, and tries to tempt her into bedding with him, in return for her freedom... She doesnt (neither would I, he was UGLY), but later on, he does force her to...... he also cuts out her tounge so that she cannot speak of the wrong done to her.
Long story short... she DOES eventually escape, after months of unspeakable toruture for her and her husband. And good prevailed when the priest died a horrible death in his own torture chamber.
Your existence alone, is excuse enough for the creation of the entire universe… Il you my darling Jeanne-Dré
