Season of the Witch

Season of the Witch is a 2011 adventure/fantasy about two veteran crusaders (Ron Perlman and Nicholas Cage) who become disillusioned by the slaughter of innocents and leave the Crusade. They  get pressed into service by a dying cardinal (Christopher Lee) to take a witch to a monastery to use  the last remaining copy of the book to exorcise her and end the Bubonic plague. This is a fun film, with enough medieval/crusade history to give it real atmosphere and enough supernatural elements to add punch.

  2. I always enjoy watching Nicholas Cage films 😁. I hope you've had a good week, it's turned a lot colder here so I guess winter must be on its way! Happy Friday and weekend! J 😊 x

    1. I haven't seen all that much with Cage, but I've liked what I've seen. We're having highs in the 60s here!

  4. I saw this back in 2011. I enjoyed the skewed or unique look at the plague days--LOL! I do remember that despite the seriousness of the subject matter and setting that there was humor. I do enjoy Nick Cage--even if he has been in some bombs. :)

    1. We watched several movies about Bubonic Plague in a row without meaning to. It made for a fun little themed marathon lol

    1. My younger son ended up with a DVD of this somehow, probably picking up a used copy when Spin Street had their closing sale.
