Just in time for Halloween we have the trailer for Nic Cages new flick 'Season of the Witch', which aside from the supernatural aspect the synopsis seems alot like In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale...hell it even has Ron Pearlman! However it looks like something wholly different freaky to a T. I dig period action flicks, and we all know how much I dig the supernatural so I'll give it a go and make my judgement then. Here's the official synopsis:
In the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, 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.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
This looks awful. And yet still better than Dungeon Siege, which featured the most grand spankingly terrible Ray Liotta evah!!
