Hangmans Curse Order, The
Side-by-Side Packaging HANGMAN`S CURSE: David Keith and Mel Harris star in this thriller set in the halls of a troubled high school. At Rogers High School, someone--or something--is plaguing the students, all of whom happen to be bullies or jocks, and all of whom scream the name of the dead kid who hung himself from the school rafters after being made fun of. It`s up to Nate and Sarah Springfield, agents for the top-secret Veritas Project, working undercover in the school, to risk their lives in order to free the community from the dreaded curse. Directed by Rafal Zielinski, HANGMAN`S CURSE is based on the popular novel by Frank Peretti. THE ORDER: Heath Ledger stars as Alex Bernier, a young priest and protegee of the excommunicated head of a mysterious order known as the Carolingians, who has recently died under mysterious circumstances. Alex is sent by Father Driscoll to Rome to investigate the death; once there, he uncovers evidence pointing to the existence of a mysterious being known as a sin-eater, a being that exists outside the jurisdiction of the church and performs last rites on people who have been exiled by the Church. But as Bernier, aided by his old friend Father Thomas (Mark Addy) and an artist upon whom he once performed an exorcism (Shannyn Sossamon), gets closer to the sin-eater, he is besieged by doubt as to what it really is; human or beast, evil creature that preys upon humans or renegade angel who provides fallen sinners a last chance to make it into heaven.
