Vincent Cassel is back on the big screen this week with his new movie The Monk, which teams him up with filmmaker Dominik Moll.

The movie is the first directorial outing for Moll since Lemming back in 2005 as he has adapted Matthew Gregory Lewis’ gothic novel for the big screen.

And we have a couple of clips from the movie for you to take a look at:

Abandoned as a baby on the steps of a monastery and raised in strict Capuchin fashion, Ambrosio has become the most famous preacher in the country.

While large crowds from all over the country come to hear his mesmerizing sermons, he’s also bitterly envied for his success by certain fellow monks.

Convinced of his virtue and righteousness, Brother Ambrosio thinks he is immune to temptation…

Until obscure events start terrorizing the monastery. Could they be connected to the unexpected arrival of Valerio, an apprentice monk who has the miraculous gift to relieve Ambrosio’s splitting headaches and hides his disfigured face under a wax mask?

The Monk is released 27th April.
