I like this movie a lot, but I'm a sucker for the Burn The Witch genre, everything from The Conqueror Worm to Mark Of The Devil. Plus I like gratuitous nudity, and Stuie usually supplies the goods (the strip-search in Pit is a classic). I also thought Oliver Reed was cool, sort of reprising his role from Ken Russell's The Devils.
And speaking of pointless, gratuitous nudity, what about that scene in The Dead Pit where the girl is chained up and then hosed down with a water blast that actually washes away her shirt!!!!! Not to mention that she freely wandered around the halls of a MENTAL ASYLUM unaccompanied and wearing only a belly shirt and panties. Just doesn't seem safe, does it?
