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.
