The movie "The pit and the Pendulum" was nothing at all like the book. The
movie started out as a man walked along the ocean to enter a huge castle. His sister had
moved there when she married Dom Madena, but now she was dead. The castle was used
to torture Catholics during the Inquisition. Dom Madena believes that the castle has an
atmosphere of torture thick with death, and that led to the death of his sister. The doctor
said she died of fright. They buried her in a tomb below the castle.
As child Dom Madena saw his father torture and kill his father's brother and his
own wife. He accused them of adultery. His father didn't torture his mother to death, he
buried her alive. Dom Madena thought that he buried his wife alive. Then one night
someone was playing the harpsichord just like his wife did.
Another time a servant heard
his wife whispering to her. Then one night someone trashed her room.
Dom Madena, also called Nicholas, heard his wife calling him. He went through a
secret passageway until he entered the room of all the torturing devices. He goes to his
wife grave, which they dug up to prove she was dead, and she popped out of her grave.
She chased him through the dungeon until they met with the doctor. Then Nicholas
fainted, and his wife, who never really died, told him that it was all scheme. She and the
doctor were having an affair. He chased the doctor and he fell into a pit and died. He
stuck his wife in a torture machine out of sight and gagged her.
Then her brother came down. Nicholas seized him and put him on table below a
razor sharp pendulum. Right as it...
Good
not seen the pit and the pendulum but this looks like a good piece here
