Inquisition (1977)

Plague-ridden 16th-century France. Hell-bent on eradicating witchcraft, pious, faith-driven magistrate and Grand Inquisitor, Bernard de Fossey, sets foot in a superstition-filled community. However, instead of finding and uprooting evil with the help of his feared team of interrogators, more and more, Fossey finds himself questioning his beliefs, mysteriously mesmerised by cryptic, charming local woman, Catherine. And, as innocent young women fall victim to Bernard's madness, a death under suspicious circumstances triggers vengeance and the unholy pact with the Prince of Darkness himself. But beyond love lies torture and terror, fire and death. Who can stand in Hell's way? Is there an escape from the hungry flames of the Inquisition?
