The Dead Pit

The Dead Pit, as a horror film set in a mental asylum with an evil doctor and his "fiendish experiments," primarily aims to evoke Fear and Anxiety through its suspenseful atmosphere and the constant threat posed by the reanimated antagonist. The grotesque nature of the doctor's work and the unsettling environment contribute significantly to feelings of being Disturbing and Disgust. The plot's central mystery, involving an amnesiac woman and the doctor's return, also generates Surprise, Confusion, and Curiosity as the audience tries to piece together the narrative.
