About The Dead Pit
The arrival of an amnesiac patient in a psychiatric hospital somehow frees a mad doctor, who was shot and entombed with his fiendish experiments in an abandoned wing of the asylum 20 years before.
Directed by Brett Leonard, The Dead Pit leans on a strong ensemble — Jeremy Slate, Cheryl Lawson, Stephen Gregory Foster — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1989.
