There is not much truth to this tale. If you do a search of this case, this movie has minimal connection to the truth. It's good for over-the-top scares and fantasy about altars, curses, and satanic rituals, if that's your goblet of tea.

Good directing and acting. Sadly, the script was to be blamed.

My parents and I decided to watch a more intense movie throughout October. I had seen this many years ago, and reluctantly recommended it.

My 80+ year old parents loved it! The acting was superb, gorgeous settings of The Czech Republic and UK, and the dialogue was eloquent, appropriate for the time.

However, as so many movies often overshadow its theme, Solomon Kane does not-the story of redemption brightly shines through. It's never too late.

The subtleties of this hidden gem is what drew me in. The acting was superb and being based on a true incident made it even more intriguing.

But the ending felt rushed and overly dramatic. Quick cuts to with various locales, interspersed over confusing visions, rehash of the death, and then "Hey, let's add some fire!" drew me out of the experience. And then The End. Finis.

Having a little conclusion with the couple back at the University, perhaps posing a ponderous question about music and the supernatural would have definitely made this more of a classic film.
