Description: A supernatural thriller adapted from Matthew G. Lewis’ (now cult) 1796 gothic novel, The Monk traces the corruption of a 16th Century, pious Capuchin Monk.

Abandoned at birth at the gates of a Capuchin monastery in Madrid, Brother Ambrosio (Vincent Cassel), raised by the friars, grows up into a preacher admired far and wide for his fervor.
