Betrayal Cuts Both Ways!
Happily-ever-after goes under the knife in this "eerie [and] excellent" (The Hollywood Reporter) saga of murder, madness and forbidden desire. Starring Hollywood horror great Vincent Price, this "spine-tingling thriller" (Redbook Magazine) is a "lush, elegant and bloody" (Cue) tale of razor-sharp terror! Haunted by horrifying childhood memories, the son (Price) of the Spanish Inquisition's most notorious assassin teeters on the brink of insanity. But when his adulterous wife fakes her own death to drive him over the edge, she soon discovers that betrayal cuts both ways - as the man she wants to destroy becomes not only her judge and jury - but also her executioner!

International.
These folks include Samuel Z Arkoff, Jack Nicholson (Yes, that one!),
Vincent Price and Roger Corman. Their best adaptation is the 1961 version of
