Actress Lorielle New dropped us a message today hitting us with the trailer for her latest flick, THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, which you can now find over in our videos section. Why waste any more time? Just scroll down below to check that out!
Did you even know there was an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM in the works? Well considering this one is looking pretty low budget I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t. You see director David DeCoteau has gone ahead and adapted Poe’s classic story for today’s audience… the only problem is I’ve got no idea when this one will be available. According to IMDB it should’ve been released this past April, but I can’t find it for the life of me. As soon as we hear a release date on this one we’ll pass it along.
The film stars Lorielle New, Stephen Hansen, Bart Voitila, Danielle Demski, Amy Paffrath, Tom Sandoval, Michael King, Jason-Shane Scott, Andrew Bowen and Jason Stuart. Here’s the synopsis: Seven students answer an advertisement to participate in an experiment to explore how the sensation of pain can be eliminated. Arriving at a secluded institute, they are welcomed by mysterious scientist JB Divay. Initially, JB’s fascination with hypnosis, clocks and cactus plants are dismissed by the group as mere eccentricities. But as the students begin to disappear one by one, they begin to question JB’s true intentions. In a final showdown, plucky Jason confronts JB over her deranged practices only to discover boyfriend Kyle strapped to a table beneath JB’s final experiment, inches away from the razor’s edge…
According to Wikipedia that shot above is basically the only resemblance between DeCoteau’s version and Poe’s original tale. Interesting. Go ahead and scope out the trailer below and keep it here as we await a release date for THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM.
