Cradle Of Fear (2001)
Plot Summary:
A gruesome homage to the cult Amicus anthology Asylum, Cradle of
Fear unfolds four screen plays all linked by the unspeakable need of
an incarcerated child killer to wreak vengeance on those responsible
for his imprisonment. Helped by deranged angel Dani Filth, who
leaves a trail of charnel house death in his crimson wake, the
cannibal convict forces two Goth vamps to endure a one night stand
from hell, two tough female robbers to see through each other, an
obscenely rich coke-head to chop up more than a few lines and an
internet surfer to descend into madness when he uncovers the
ultimate web depravity.
Revenge is wreaked upon several people who got something to do with
an old Satanist child-killer who has been closed in an Asylum for
mentally ill and dangerous individuals. The avenger is the
Satanist's son, played by Dani Filth. The Satanist is hunted by an
inspector who is obsessed with killing the old man.
Memorable Quotes:
Chief Inspector Roper: That's not
what I wanted to talk about Pete. I've had a worrying call from Joe,
the photographer. Something about you touching the dead bodies...
Detective Neilson: Yes Sir, it's just something I have to do.
Chief Inspector Roper: Okay. Any particular reason?
Detective Neilson: To make sure they really are dead.
Chief Inspector Roper: How long's this been going on Pete?
Detective Neilson: About seven years. Ever since the girl, Abigail
Watson.
Chief Inspector Roper: Abigail Watson... wasn't she one of Kemper's?
Detective Neilson: His fourth victim. She was only ten years old.
That bastard raped and abused her repeatedly for two days.
Chief Inspector Roper: I remember Pete, you were the first to find
her.
Detective Neilson: He'd broken her pelvic bone with his fist. Severe
trauma lead to a state of advanced catalepsy, her body functions
shut down. No sign of life.
Chief Inspector Roper: I know what happened. It was all a terrible
mistake.
Detective Neilson: I was with her for longest. If I'd touched her I
would've known. She woke up in a fridge.
Chief Inspector Roper: Yes but, I mean no one...
Detective Neilson: She woke up in a fridge, in the morgue. They
think she was awake for at least ten hours before she froze to
death. No one heard her screams. When they eventually pulled her
out, they found she'd broken every bone in her hands from pounding
endlessly against the metal walls... no one should have to suffer
like that, except maybe bastards like Kemper.
