I kind of wish this movie were called THE KILLER PILGRIM, because that’s all I could think during the trailer. James Purefoy (“Rome”) is an ass-kicking pilgrim, and only the monsters of hell stand in the way of a tasty turkey and mashed potatoes dinner… (Yes, I think “pilgrim”, I think “mashed potatoes”. My teachers would be so proud.)
Okay, here’s what it’s really about: Kane is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper, he realizes he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again.
SOLOMON KANE stars James Purefoy, Pete Postlethwaite, Max von Sydow, Mackenzie Crook, Alice Krige, and Rachel Hurd-Wood (pictured below). There is still no release date, but keep an eye out for The Arrow’s review, which will be up soon!
