★★★★★ · CLASSIC MASTERPIECE · shevin · 2011-01-14
Just when I thought I'd seen all the best of 'em. I can't imagine anyone sitting thru this film and not giving it a 5. If you watched this movie you obviously have a passion for low budget, hard to believe they were serious, movies. And if you didn't find Bloody Pit hilarious what are you looking for in a B-movie.

I hope the cast got a good vacation out of this one. It reminds me of the silent film about the Golum. I have to admit, I had never heard of The Crimson Executioner, and I have no idea whether this movie was ever shown publically. I watched it all the way through and do not know whether to give it one star because it is so bad, or five stars because it is so bad, it is good. Will I ever watch it again? Possibly as it may be funnier the second time around.

This is the exact type of thing that comes to my mind with the phrase "horror B-movie". It may be cheap and shoddy, but you can tell this was made from passion! The sets are fantastic and it has a lot of creative ideas.
★★★★★ · So bad that its amazingly good!!! · The One Above All · 2018-09-18
I haven't laughed and heckled a film so much in years! Pure old school cheesy awesome! I will get everyone I can to watch this masterpiece of cheesy horror. And the old school chicks are super hot in this. Easy selling point to any dude but once the madness of the crimson tights begins... lookout ... wow this is fun and strangely good.
★★★★★ · They weren't lying, that bloody pit can horror · ToDefine-IsToLimit · 2021-11-27
Given the title, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Favorite bit was the multiple-minute-long scene of our man squiggling across the floor.

Beautiful Italian models. Mincing Italian photographer guys trying to appear macho. Remotely located castle is discovered and broken into by the prissy tough guys. The creepy atmosphere and obvious bad vibes of the place do nothing to dissuade the group of weary dipshits from barging in and making themselves at home. Predictably, they are not alone. The place is occupied by a grumpy, brandy sipping millionaire in a silk robe. The rich guy is a stereotypical megalomaniac with cruel whims and wild mood swings. RIch guy is all set to throw them out; he has a cadre of striped-shirt wearing…
