This film, based on the classic short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, deals with man's propensity for evil and the Puritan way of opposing it. It employs symbolic visuals and ominous music to dramatize a series of supernatural ceremonies that produce the same ambiguity as Hawthorne's story and successfully captures the complexities of the original tale.
