Warning: Spoilers
****SPOILERS****It was when the righteous and caring Dr. Gerald Swan, Jeremy Slate,did what was he thought was to be a good deed for all of humanity by blasting the crazed and diabolical Dr.Colin Ramzi, played by Danny Gochnauer in his first and last film or TV appearance,between the eyes when he tried to-like he did to all his victims -lobotomize him you would think we've heard and saw the last of the mad Dr. Ramzi & crew. That after Dr. Slate sealed him and his victims in the basement of the mental hospital that he worked in. But some 20 years later after a typical California earthquake the sealed door to the basement was ripped opened and the doctor and his Zombie victims were loose to inflict evil on the world at large.

This all happened when pretty and confused Jean Doe, Cheryl Lawson, was caught wondering around town suffering from a serious case of amnesia and committed to the hospital that Dr. Slate ran to get her memory back. It soon turns out that Dr. Ramzi, with a bullet hole between his eyes,and his band of Zombies are now on the loose and out for blood as well as hearts livers and brains of the patients as well as staff of the hospital and nothing is going to stop them until they get their bellies full. This leads Jane Doe together with the cute and cuddly mental patient Bud Higgins, Michael Jacobs, to try to escape and warn the local authorities of what their facing in a full scale Zombie invasion of their community.

****SPOILERS*** Far too extreme and disturbing for most movie goers to watch especially those with weak stomachs the "Death Pit" is short of story but loaded with gore and valiance that makes it successful in the long run with the blood & guts crowd. There's also the side story of the pretty Jean Doe,who gets to show us her boobies in a violent shower scene,connection to the hospital as well as the crazed Dr. Ramzi -who's considered the most brilliant person in the world of modern medicine by his former boss Dr. Slate-that will blow your as well as Jane Doe's mind. Just when Dr. Ramzi and his Zombies are about to take over the mental hospital as well as surrounding community fate lands a hand in stopping them cold with the only the one thing that could :A bottle as well as buckets-from the hospital water tower- of water blessed by an inmate in the hospital Sister Clair,Geha Getz,who knew what Dr. Ramzi was all about and what was necessary to stop him and his roving band of flesh eating and blood drinking Zonmbies.
