The special effects aren't killer, but I love how utterly unconcerned Kane is for his henchmen getting dragged to hell (or wherever). I think this movie looks fun. And the poster makes me want to buy a van and have that painted on the side. I don't think Solomon Kane can hope -- or even wants -- anything more than that.

That looks remarkably like the Army of Darkness poster....

Hey, this movie is pretty good. I saw it at Fantastic Fest in Austin in September. I even wrote up a little review. If you liked Brotherhood of the Wolf or The 13th Warrior, you'll like Solomon Kane.

You make it sound even more awesome.
Also it´s always great to see Von Sydow in any movie, but especially in another Joward adaptation.

Looks very Guillermo Del Torro-ey.

That demon in the mirror was totally telling them to live long and prosper...

Purefoy's pseudo-Cornish accent really IS a killer.

Hey, maybe someone'll make a Breckenridge Elkins movie, too! (In case you think I'm being flippant...I DO want to see a Breckenridge Elkins movie.)

I'm going to watch the shit out of that movie based on that poster. It's like he's about to be raped to death by all the legions of undead, and he just doesn't care enough to acknowledge them.

My favorite Howard character! I did enjoy Conan, but Kane, well, Kane was a Puritan and was ice-cold as hell. One story, these pirates raped a village girl to death, he followed them around the entire world to kill all of them! BAD-ASS!!!

I love the Solomon Kane stories. I've been impatiently awaiting this movie since it was first announced. So much potential here; I really hope it does well enough to become a new film franchise. It'd be awesome to get a new Solomon Kane movie every 2 or 3 years.

Wow, it's the poster for Van Helsing but tan instead of green.

For what it's worth, that picture has been floating around the internets for a while without the poster text, so it might be a fake.

Hmm, the guy who gets pulled into the mirror at the 55-second mark looks very familiar! But, I cannot put a name or even a film to the face.

I'm going to have to start smacking on boards and cinder block to build up the calluses one my hand.
I know that the bitch-slappings that I'm going to have to give my friends for calling Solomon Kane a Van Helsing-ripoff will be plentiful and must be especially painful and humiliating.

This looks awesome so far.

Wow... it seems, the creature design from Pans Labyrinth is becoming the Wilhelm Scream of visual FX right now in hollywood (see also: Pandorum).
