Took me 30 years to see The Dead Pit, but worth the wait
An avid horror fan this one has somehow evaded me since 1989, until I picked up a copy on VHS. Set in a mental institution (always a good location for horror movies) The Dead Pit delivers zombies, a crazed, evil doctor, a buxom heroine, lots of gore, some laughs (some possibly unintentionally?) and a very good use of colours (blue, green and red) 1980's style. This is a B-movie so expect some cardboard acting (Stephen Gregory Foster in particular), and some of the special effects/make up looks a bit cheap, it is also perhaps a tad long, but it is fun, perhaps best watched with a few beers.
