My Opinion:
I think this is Lance Henriksen's best movie. An excellent remake of the classic Edgar Allen Poe short story. It gave me that horrible feeling of injustice that makes you want the good guys to win. Makes you wonder how things like the Spanish Inquisition ever took place... The DVD contains 4 trailers from other cheap movies.
