“A bizarre descent into hell from the creator of Re-Animator.”

Set during the height of Spanish Inquisition. The beautiful and kind-hearted Maria is arrested as a witch when she inadvertently cries out in horror at the public whipping of a child.

Loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe's classic short story.
