Season of the Witch

Description

After it wrapped in November, 2009, Season of the Witch, an old-school horror movie starring Nicholas Cage and Ron Perlman, went into a strange suspended animation. In November, 2010, the studio finally distributed a trailer with very little fanfare, and setting a release date in mid-January, 2011. Cinephiles with exquisite powers of observation detected changes in the credits for key production roles, expressing their concern about the project's integrity. The pre-release buzz registered only lukewarm, and a few long-time fans used the unfortunate phrase "paycheck movie" to describe Cage's efforts."Reminiscent of Beowolf with more horror and gore, the story draws admirably from all the traditions of medieval storytelling, ultimately pitting the two courageous crusaders against a dark force that threatens to rule the world."Returning from the Crusades, a noble night finds his homeland ravaged by the black plague. Church officials blame sorcery for the pestilence, and they have captured the witch they hold responsible. They command the knight to transport the alleged witch to an abbey where the monks specialize in exorcising demons. The knight enlists the help of a priest, a grieving comrade-in-arms, a disgraced vagabond, and an arrogant young would-be night. Together, they battle hostile and horrible wilderness, making their way to the abbey where the witch's terrible secret is revealed and literally all hell breaks loose.

Horror & Suspense
Stories about mysterious telekinetic abilities were extremely popular in 70s. That's way Steven King's book Carrie was adopted as movie just in 2 years after the novel was written. In 2013 Carrie returns on big screens thanks to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Screen Gems - both invested around 75 millions USD in this reincarnation of the film. Now Carrie features lots of stunning CGI effects that makes telekinetic tricks much more spectacular than 70's adaptation. What makes this movie special besides awesome explosions and incredibly realistic bloodbaths? The perfectly combined ensemble cast: just imagine a magnificent star of (500) Days of Summer, ChloГ« Grace Moretz as Carrie White in terrifying action scenes where telekinetic powers tearing apart all the stuff around and everting human bodies. Although, Lindsey Lohan was initially promoted for this role, finally Moretz was confirmed by director Kimberly Peirce. Chloe's mother Margaret White is played by Julianne Moore an Emme-awarded actress whose filmography includes but not limited by such masterpieces as Chloe, The Kids Are All Right, A Single Man, Shelter and Next. As for the plot, Peirce's Carrie is loosely built on the novel storyline with some exceptions which caused King's sarcastic remark "The real question is why, when the original was so good?" Carrie White is a lonesome, shy girl living in suburban house with her religious mother Margaret. Chloe's only friend Sue Snell (persuasively depicted by gorgeous Gabriella Wilde) decides to help Chloe to override her lone status by asking a local dreamboat, Tommy Ross (Sue's boyfriend, by the way) to invite Carrie to prom. Unfortunate prank turns out to be a catastrophic disaster for all those present at prom and for the entire town when Carrie unleashes her powers in devastating act of desperation.
