The Pit - (1981) Australian VHS, Prestige Video / Complete Transfer, HD

Twelve year‑old Jamie Benjamin is a misunderstood lad. His classmates pick on him, his neighbors think he’s weird and his parents ignore him. But now Jamie has a secret weapon: deep in the woods he has discovered a deep pit full of man‑eating creatures he calls Trogs… and it isn’t long before he gets an idea for getting revenge and feeding the Trogs in the process! Ian A. Stuart’s original screenplay was considerably different from the final film. In his screenplay, Jamie was 8 or 9 years old and the Tra‑la‑logs were figments of his imagination. When Lew Lehman signed on to direct, he made Jamie older, the monsters real and added more humor to the original script. Stuart has expressed dissatisfaction with the final result.
