“Road Warrior”, “Commando” & “Weird Science”
“Bloody Pit of Horror” is a must have for any metal fan.

A well acted film that will leave you emotionally drained
The film definitely has it share of blood and gore
The comedy is the saving grace for the otherwise bland content
Good story and a tight 90 minute window is its saving grace.
