SOLOMON KANE-2009-Robert Howard's
Puritan witch hunter is a violent, greedy idiot who believes his soul
is damned and has symbols on his body to protect him from evil. Kane
(James Purefoy) renounces his ways and lives in a monastery but the
monks throw him out. Acting a like a cross between Hugh Jackman and
Wilhem DeFoe he wanders the countryside in the 1600's. Flashbacks
reveal his father (Max von Sydow) disowned him when he refused to
join the clergy. After being beaten up he's taken in by a guy (Pete
Postlethwaite) and his family. An evil sorcerer named Malachi (Jason
Flemyng) kidnaps the daughter and kills the rest of the family. Kane
scourers everywhere looking for her while Mal crucifies people who
oppose him. Later he finds his father in a dungeon. He leads a group
of villagers to their deaths then fights his own brother. After that
he fights a demon that looks like the one in the video game Quake 2!
He rescues the daughter and becomes a hero.
Dark dirty shit from
director MJ Bassett (Cable's ASH VS. EVIL DEAD).
Thanks for reading!
