- CuriosidadesFilm debut of Kevin Tighe.
- Erros de gravaçãoThe narrator states that before the last exam, John "took a couple of bennies to pep him up, but so what? Everybody knows a couple can't do any harm." The narrator then says John should've known that barbiturates are dangerous to his nervous system. But the term "bennies" refers to Benzedrine, an amphetamine/stimulant used for staying awake. It does not refer to barbiturates, which are sedating.

Story of a junkie
I don't care what anyone says. I dig this stuff. Not so much a full-fledged movie. Just 30 minutes of unintentional humor, with an agenda. Just one more reason to buy Blood Freak on DVD, from Something Weird Video. And believe me, there's a lot of them. The perfect extra for said DVD, considering the content and all. So, anyway. The agenda of these short films of the 50's and 60's is to attempt (in vain) to scare the youth of the day into staying away from the more harmful drugs, such as heroin, and, well... Pot, I guess. And how they usually went about this is, of course, the humorous part. Or at least it is, considering how hip and ironic everyone has become since this era. Pit Of Despair is a perfect example of these corny warnings. Follows the downward spiral of a straight-laced highschool student, who at first, takes some bennys in order to deal with the normal pressures of school. Soon, frustration and peer-pressure "forces" a once hopeful young fellow into trying the pot. And can anyone guess what the pot leads to? That's right, class. An agonizing existence, filled with nothing but needles and cold turkeys. A disturbing scenario, to say the least. Really makes one think twice before trying the pot, although, the guy started out taking bennys. Maybe those things are the real gateway drug. Anyone even know what bennys are? Nevermind. As far as this type of short film goes, this one is by far the most entertaining one I've seen, even if the only dialog is a voice-over. Narcotics: Pit Of Despair is definitely worth more than one viewing, and despite how ridiculous it is, it's still accurate in its own way. although, for a much more realistic, dare I say sobering portrayal of what drugs can really do to a person, I would recommend you take a look at Blood Freak.
