A Crusader (Nicolas Cage) returns home but it has been devastated by the Plague. A withering church, claiming witchcraft is the culprit, commands two knights to transport a witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of putting an end to the spreading disease. A priest, a grieving knight, a disgraced traveler and a stubborn youth hoping to be a knight someday join forces on a mission troubled by demonic and other scary ghosts, goblins, and ghouls all the while debating over what to do with the girl. Upon arrival to the abbey, a horrific moment of discovery questions the knight's pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and huge battle of destructive force begins.
If you are not a fan of Nic Cage, skip this movie because it is CLASSIC Cage…. Intensity in both his glares and his acting in general. Just YouTube his name for a taste of some hilarious Clips of him going at it on film. Witch movies and movies about the devil always trip me out. I can want any other type of scary movie and be fine, but when it comes to the occult and things of that nature, I turn into a weenie. I watched this movie with all the lights on, the doors open, my closet open, my window shades drawn, and that is how I get through movies like that…. sorry to get personal, but now you know. To some, it might not be that scary….but as Levar Burton says on Reading Rainbow, “You don’t have to take MY word for it….”
