:A Medieval Knight resurrects to fulfill his vow and bestow a blood-thirst vengeance upon the kindred spirits of those who betrayed him long ago. In the course of one night, identities will be revealed, destinies met, and a poetic justice of the macabre maniacally served. Here lies a tale of passion, loyalty, deceit, betrayal...and revenge. They were Warriors. They were Crusaders. Under the leadership of the righteous GREGOIRE, this band of brothers in the Holy Order of the Knights Templar selflessly fought back-to-back, defending GOD and the True Cross. Until one dark night of utter betrayal... Glorious was their victory that night, gold their find. The spoils were to be taken to their Grandmaster for use in furthering their Cause. Yet greed had infected one of their number - RENAULT - and under the influence of the demon of lust, he embraced and fiendishly persuaded others to help him carry out his nefarious plan of betrayal. Among those whose hearts he blackened was the already resentful MENAS, envious of his brother MELKON, the man famed as being both the greatest swordsman in all of Europe and the right hand of Gregoire. The following morning Renault's heinous plot went into effect and Gregoire, Melkon and their beloved steward KOKO were ambushed and executed for purposes of greed. But as he lay dying, Gregoire vowed his revenge. Ten lifetimes of excess Renault and his murdering compatriots would enjoy. And then he would return to deliver their souls to Hell for all of eternity. Ten lifetimes of excess... The centuries pass and after 700 years, the allotted time of the evildoers nears culmination. One dark, stormy night, the Crusader, upon his steed, resurrects to execute his pledge of vengeance upon the now kindred spirits of those who victimized him so very long ago. The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group assembles at a secluded manor home under the guise of a promised fantasy weekend to fulfill personal desires. JAKE, the events coordinator will have his hands full playing host to his young guests; CELINE, the alluring and promiscuous Eastern-European, ASHLEY, the contemptuous yet beautiful socialite, AMY, the innocent and meek girl-next-door, HURCOS, the predatory Middle-Eastern playboy, and JAPONIKO, the uninvited and mysterious Asian minimalist. SHAUNA, the abrasive Irish cook, and her cohort in crime BENOIT, the bone-idle English caretaker, along with the enigmatic PRIEST and the benevolent SHOPKEEPER, round out this unusual and extremely colorful cast of characters. Jake assigns the position of assistant recreational coordinator to Amy, and as she reads from an obscure storybook, the tale of Gregoire and his righteous band of Templar Knights animates, and the story of betrayal is reenacted for the guests. Blood will flow excessively as the cursed and unsuspecting kindred spirits meet their imminent destinies one-by-one during the Crusader's maniacal reprisal.

:肯·罗素(Ken Russell)根据约翰·惠廷(John Whiting)1961年的RSC戏剧改编,原作为阿道司.赫胥黎(Aldous Huxley)于1952年进行的卢丹冤案的研究。 影片主要内容是发生在17世纪法国,个人自由主义色彩浓厚的乌尔班·格兰迪神父(Ur bain Grandier)顶撞到了天主教枢机黎塞留公爵的权威,从而导致公爵和教会开始共谋如何利用修女被“恶魔”附身这一借口来陷害神父,最终导致悲剧发生。 这部电影虽然有很多大胆惊人的地方,但不妨碍其成为英国电影中独特且具有里程碑意义的影片。奥利弗·里德(Oliver Reed)饰演格兰迪神父和凡妮莎·雷德格雷夫(Vanessa Redgrave)饰演的女修道院院长都表现出色,Derek Jarman设计的片场布景更是令人难忘。 编剧阿尔多斯·赫胥黎为导演肯·罗素这部火花四溅的杰作提供了素材。这部影片描述了在17世纪的法国,修女对主教暗生情愫,这种情绪在修道院中蔓延,整个修道院的修女都赤身迎接主教 ,她们被认为被恶魔附身,但除魔方法匪夷所思。导演罗素称这部影片是他所有作品中“唯一的、而且最政治性 的 影片”,这一对“洗脑”作出清晰刻画并对政教之间的勾结作出描绘的影片被英国电影分级委员会和华纳影业禁放,华纳影业至今仍宣称这部影片强烈不适于公开放映。
