To be clear, I watch "bad" movies all the time. And I like a lot of them.
More to the point, I am usually able to find lots of little things that I like in them so that, while I may acknowledge that they are not good films and I wouldn't recommend them to people with "normal" movie sensibilities, it doesn't mean I don't like them or wouldn't watch them again.
And then there is Bloody Pit Of Horror.
This is a movie that, honestly, can only be mocked. There is, essentially, nothing in this film of actual value. There is almost nothing that can be taken away as a "well, I did think that was kinda cool" or "well, that looked good at least". It's just terrible.
The story is, basically, that a guy called The Crimson Executioner was put to death for sadistic crimes some centuries ago and left in the dungeon of this old castle. Present day, a group of people who are on some kind of ill-defined "assignment" are looking for shelter from a storm and end up at a castle which is owned by a mysterious man who wants no part of them. Yadda, yadda, yadda, we end up in the basement dungeon with the women all naked (but covered) and the men all dead (except for whichever guy has to be the hero).
Honestly, it's not that bad of a story as tropes go. And I'll be honest, I was so disappointed by what the movie turned out to be about versus what I had expected and hoped it would be about, that that made the slog that was getting through the first 30-40 minutes of the movie seem like an act of cruelty beset upon me by people who shouldn't have made a movie.
The acting is bad (obvious even though it's dubbed). The dubbing is just awful, I mean, honestly probably the worst dubbing I've ever seen in a movie, bar none. The story doesn't make much sense until you get pretty late into it and you're like "Oh, so that's what those people were doing and this is what the killer is and man this movie is way too long..."
Which is a fact, this movie should probably have clocked in at no more than 70, maybe 75 minutes if I'm being incredibly generous, but it is brutally padded out to make an 87-minute run-time.
I dunno, I'm rambling. This movie was a real disappointment. I had genuinely hoped that this would be a little "bad" gem, not a good movie by any means but a movie with some fun, garish **** in it. Instead it's just like somebody who wanted to make a movie somehow got permission to film in the same castle as Kill, Baby! Kill! and so they technically made a movie. I feel pretty confident saying that this is the worst Euro-trash movie I've seen, and I've seen a lot of them.
Sigh.
