"Inquisition" is a good exploitation movie based on the inquisition in the Dark Ages. Paul Naschy is perfect in the role of a cruel and sadistic magistrate that sentences women to be tortured and murdered in the name of the church. The romance is good and the unnecessary torture scenes and naked women was common in Euro movies in the 70's. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Iinquisição" ("Inquisition")
