Creedmore Prison, 1956. Prison guard Ethan Sharpe (Lane Smith) stands silently by as inmate Charlie Forsythe is executed for a murder he and Ethan both know he didn’t commit. 30 years later and the long abandoned prison is re-opened, with Sharpe returning as the new warden. However, as the doors are unsealed once more, so the violent spectre of Charlie Forsythe is set free, determined to take its revenge, not just on Warden Sharpe but on anyone who stands in its way. Only inmate Connie Burke (Viggo Mortensen) and penologist Katherine Walker (Chelsea Field) have the courage to unearth the warden’s terrible secret in the hope that this might save the rest of the prison’s inmates… A UK premiere for this classic 80s movie starring Viggo Mortensen in a very early film appearance.
