Solomon Kane Clip: Hall of Mirrors
Check out the first clip for Michael J. Bassett‘s adaption of Robert E. Howard’s “Solomon Kane.” Several grave-robbers find a brutal death in this clip, as a cursed barrow comes to life!
Armed with a rapier and flintlock pistols, Solomon Kane (James Purefoy) dresses in black, his pale face and cold eyes shadowed by a hat. He is a true rogue, blasting and slashing forward on a mission of pillage and plunder in war-torn North Africa in the late 1500s. When the devil lays claim to his hopelessly corrupt soul, Kane escapes only to face the sobering truth: in order to seek redemption, he must renounce his wicked ways and devote himself wholly to a pious life. His newfound piety is put to the test when he is forced to return to his murderous ways to save England from the grasp of evil.
