All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Solomon Kane (2010)

Starring: James Purefoy, Max Von Sydow, Pete Postlethwaite, Alice Krig
Director: Michael J. Bassett

Premise:
During the 1600's a man learns is soul is bound for Hell. He changes his ways to be a man of God, until the family who takes him in are slaughtered by a group of soldiers possessed by a demon.

My Take:
This is a movie seemingly made to attempt a cash in on a story that could become a series. It fails, mainly because there is no depth to any characters therefore one doesn't care about the plight. There are some decent visuals though and James Purefoy is outstanding per usual.
