Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.
A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.
When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight's pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force.

watchable, but I never liked Nicolas Cage.
Ok story, but the best part of the movie is
the first scene and it go's down hill from there.
The idea sounds good, to bad Nicolas Cage is the main actor I don't like him or his acting
Not the Bees!!! bet Cage gets burnt in this movie real bad...many of his movies he does...Hellboy and Ghost Rider in one movie...
When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight's pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment:
witches turned her into a hardcore lesbian. and ron starts to watch nicholas with a strange look in his eyes....
I want see this film not for that crap actor nick cage, but because ron perlman rules, but the PG-13 rating is bumin' me out
looks promising. it's no Solomon Kane, mind you, but I'm sure it'll be a fun little watch.
Ron Perlman FTW!!! \m/
Solomon Kane =
2 movies set during the black plague in one year. I have to finish watching Black Death now.
I thought the old trailer looked better then this one. I was under the assumption they were taking a witch to be killed in a sacred temple. In this trailer it looks like the witch is causing some great war. Really I think they pulled all the special FX shots from the main characters back story and spread it around the trailer to make it look like some kind of ancient war movie. What the hell. Stop trying to go broad and bring in fans who don't want to see a horror movie.
PG-13. I HATE PG-13!!! Let me guess. It will come out with this rating, only to be sold on DVD as an unrated feature. What a way to milk the cow baby. Business as usual.
I'll give this a shot. Doesn't look bad by the trailers. (not that that means a hell of a lot.)
I thought this was already out at the theater. I remember seeing a trailer and thinking it looked weird.
I totally agree that the Wicker Man remake is his worst film and one of the worst horror remakes ever. I really couldn't take him seriously after seeing that abomination.
For a second there, I thought this was a remake of H3.
i want to see this no i have not seen The Wicker Man so i want to see this
So is Nic Cage going to be the Medieval Ghost Rider in this?
I'd agree The Wicker Man wasn't that good, but the original was pretty shit too, so that was a let down at the time but if you have seen the original then you would realize that was a really tall order for anyone especially the guy who directed it. But this is made by the same guy who worked with nic on Gone in 60 Seconds, I'll watch it! Besides how can you be a horror fan if you wont watch a horror movie with such great actors in it, this is like a breathe of fresh air compared to all the other crappy low grade shit they keep releasing, which really does confuse me, why bring out all this low grade crap like Pontypool, Zombieland and Zombies of mass destruction? they spend millions of dollars to make these piles of maggot shit which come straight to dvd and they never make their money back, they have to be able to tell not many people are going to like them and they are ruining a lot of young actors careers with crap, at least this one can make a career or two, whilst some young actor/s get to work alongside a screen great in Nicolas Cage even if it does turn out to be shit!!!
Pontypool and Zombieland I enjoyed a lot... ZMD was um... it was alright. I'm pretty sure Pontypool got limited theater release, Zombieland got full theater release. Afterdark should have NEVER allowed a comedy in the 8 of any of the years, I'm glad that, at least, was the only one. Although... The Reeds was fucking terrible. And I don't consider Nicolas Cage a good actor... lol. And something every horror fan should know, the cast can't make a movie better, but they sure can make it worse.
I'm going to be honest...after seeing the remake of The Wicker Man with Nicolas Cage... I CAN NEVER TRUST A HORROR MOVIE WITH HIM IN IT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE... yes... that how bad it was
(
The remake of the wicker man was awful, the original was good. I'm not a big Nick Cage fan either but the story is interesting and its different compared to whats been coming out lately in the horror genre. plus as others have said its got Ron Perelman and Sr. Christopher Lee and its period Gothic horror. The name of the rose meets the tower of London..or something. it will be a nice flick.
