The Name Of The Rose

Based on Umberto Eco's award-winning bestseller, "The Name of the Rose" is a chilling tale of dark deeds and murderous mayhem within the shadowy cloisters and forbidding battlements of a 14th-century Italian medieval monastery.

One monk has fallen to his death. Or was he pushed? Another is discovered in a vat of pig's blood. The lifeless body of a third is found in his bath. Is it the work of the Devil ... or some more earthly assassin?

Using his uncanny powers of deduction, Brother William of Baskerville vows to unravel the mystery with the help of his young novice (Christian Slater. But he has a rival who is also determined to discover the truth - the Catholic Inquisitor; a man of God who uses instruments of the Devil to torture and torment his suspects.

Secret passages, forbidden sexual adventures, labyrinths, locked libraries, arsenic, old manuscripts and murder - all the ingredients for a breathtaking whodunit that will keep you guessing all the way to its grisly climax.
