I really enjoyed this film.It was a little poor in some aspects mainly the acting but the story line was adequate. If you are a viewer of dark movies, then you would like this adaption of Edgar Allan Poe. The torture scenes are quite good.

Very good 📼 film from Charles band. Different from the original one but worth the four pounds l paid. Some good horror elements with Jeffrey combs and lance hendricksen. Well done by Charles band have lots to films 📼 by him and Full Moon. Jacey out.

Good flick from back in the days when Full Moon Entertainment was serious about making them. Not much of a known cast, however they all put out excellent performances, especially Lance Henriksen who is one of my favorites. Well told story. I strongly recommend this one for Lance Henriksen fans, or someone who wants to see what Full Moon was able to do in their heyday.

Director Stuart Gordon updates Edgar Allan Poe's tale to a far more tolerant and demanding audience, 30 years after the Corman/Price classic. Graphic gore and torture, full frontal nudity and very strong language combine with lashings of Gothic horror and plenty of dark humour. Lance Henriksen is superb as the evil Grand Inquisitor, he delivers the standout performance. Sadly Oliver Reed only appears for a few minutes, but he gets to guzzle some wine so I'm sure that he enjoyed his brief time on set! Talking of which, the sets themselves are good. This version is more lavish and far more extreme than the 1961 one and much as I enjoyed it I will always prefer the original classic.

This movie has everything that a growing boy (and girl) needs: Jeffrey Combs as a hilariously anachronistic inquisitor, Lance Henriksen as a wonderfully creepy grand inquisitor, nudity, bloodshed, and an exploding witch. As far as horror movies go, it is not especially frightening. It does fairly well as a suspense thriller. But its main strength lies in its cast, the art direction, and the behind the scenes footage. Even if you happen to be expecting a straight Edgar Allen Poe adaptation, this movie won't disappoint. Even though it has a pit and a bladed pendulum, the similarities are few and far between. The ending IS kind of weird, but as they say, getting there is half the fun. Well worth renting or buying. (3.7 out of 5)

One of correct use of cliches, from Inquisition to the romance. Nice performance of Lance Henriksen and decent atmosphere of dark fairy tale. But, maybe I am wrong, too...naif. But, sure, a decentadaptation of the text by E. A. Poe.
