In this Patron's Choice episode, we're venturing into the territory of sword and sorcery master Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane (2009), M. J. Bassett's largely forgotten action adventure film starring James Purefoy as the brutal privateer turned Puritan avenger on a quest to rescue a young pilgrim girl from an evil sorcerer. This one vanished without a trace after a bungled release in the US, where it was held up by legal issues, so few genre fans had a chance to witness its glorious locations, gritty tone, bone crunching action and stunning stunts on the big screen. But does it stand the test of time, or is it an unremarkable addition to the post-Lord-of-the-Rings high fantasy boom of the noughties? Find out!

I discovered this film a couple of years ago, when I was in a Robert E. Howard kick and was reading a bunch of his stuff. When I first watched this movie, I think I didn’t liked it. But upon future viewings, I found myself liking it more and more. I submitted it to you because I felt it needed more love. Happy it was liked and was freed from the Oubliette.
