Dead Pit
(IMDB) OT: Dead Pit, The




The cut R-rated version by Imperial Entertainment Corp has been compared to the uncut and unrated version by Code Red Entertainment.

Director Brett Leonard's (The Lawnmower Man, Feed) first work is a nicely bloody, dark oldschool horrorfilm from the 80s with good and partly pretty drastic splatter scenes. The German VHS-version is cut beyond belief. The US-VHS, which received an R-rating, is less mutilated. Mainly the most violent parts are affected. This version was released in lousy fullscreen, though, while the US-DVD contains the movie with very good anamorph image quality.
