Return of the Blogger- Season of the Witch

Okay here i am back again after what seems to be ages , am sure my post have stopped but not my habit of been engaged in the art of movie watching. Well now this movie is one of the several movies i caught in the theater over the last month.

So i begin my grand comeback with none other than nicholas cage's season of the witch. A much awaited movie by me but not by the rest of the audiences . In times where movies like orphan and uninvited try to spook you with their eerie depictions of children as per se ghosts and the truimph of paranormal activity in scaring people out of their seats with nothing less than a camcorder footage surely seems to click these days, but still the good old days of horror mixed with action seemed to be missing. Reminiscing the good old days of the evil dead series , where the main lead our hero battles forces of evil and zombies across time lines seemed to be the write amount of popcorn crunching horror we needed those days and thats what exactly the season of the witch delivers.

Here's a small synopsis which leaves you bewitched -
A medieval knight undertakes a mission pitting him against a devious witch and making him the last hope for the world against an ancient and dark force. His faith broken by years of battle as a crusader, Behmen returns to central Europe to find his homeland decimated by the Black Plague. While searching for food and supplies at the Palace at Marburg, Behmen and his trusted companion, Felson are apprehended and ordered by the dying Cardinal to deliver a young peasant girl - believed to be the witch responsible for the Plague - to a remote abbey where her powers can be destroyed. Behmen agrees to the assignment but only if the peasant girl is granted a fair trial. As he and five others set off on this dangerous journey, they realize with mounting dread that the cunning girl is no ordinary human, and that their mission will pit them against an evil that even in these dark times they never could have imagined.

Well now that you know the plot line , here's why i suggest you go watch the movie-
1.Your a die hard Nicholas Cage fan (like me)
2.Your really turned on by witches
3.You just love horror movies
4.You have a girlfriend and want to take her out for a spook
5.Your a movie buff like me
