SEASON OF THE WITCH
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, Stephen Campbell
Moore & Christopher Lee
Directed by Dominic
Sena for distribution by Relativity Media
The Plot: Two soldiers
(Cage & Perlman) return from the Crusades to find their home decimated by a
plague. Convinced a cursed young woman
is to blame, the town elders task the pair with escorting her to a faraway
monastery in an effort to save their people.
The Final Word: Nicolas Cage is
hurting for a hit and unfortunately for him I just don’t see this being it.
This is eerily reminiscent of the 2006 “Wicker Man” remake which also starred
Cage and was given just as terrible of a release date. The only wild card
here is Ron Perlman, the “Sons of Anarchy” and “Hellboy” star does have a
strong cult following, but that audience coming out for this could be a long
shot.
