A few weeks ago, we revealed an exclusive poster for The Monk , and now we've got an exclusive clip from the Vincent Cassel vehicle to offer up for your viewing pleasure.
The Monk is a French-Spanish take on the 1796 gothic novel by English author Matthew Lewis. Vincent Cassel plays Capucino Ambrosio, the monk in question, whose pious nature is challenged by temptation - with dark consequences.

The Monk opens on 27 April 2012.
