We watched this last night and I found it much more interesting than when I watched it way back when. I forgot that it had a rather explicit scene in the middle and had to double check the cover to make sure it was the right movie.
It paints a rather bleak picture of the monastries of the time but all in all a good watch. I especially like the choice of many of the characters who are 'raw' featured to say the least. If you see it watch out for Ron Perlman (hellboy) as a hunchback, he must be much older than I thought.
