SDCC ’09: Stunning First ‘Solomon Kane’ Image!
Premiering at the Toronto International “Midnight Madness” portion of the film festival is Mchael J. Bassett’s Solomon Kane, which stars James Babson, Laura Baranik, Geoff Bell, Matthew Blood-Smyth, Brian Caspe, John Comer, Mackenzie Crook. This morning we got our hands on the official poster and first hi-res still from the film that is described by Wikipedia as “a somber looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms..” Sounds like a plan to me, can I join ya’?
The character of SOLOMON KANE was originated by pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard, the legendary creator of CONAN and RED SONJA. The film adaptation tells the heroic story of a savage warrior in 16th Century England who seeks redemption for a lifetime of sins by renouncing violence to live a life of purity, only to find himself compelled to pick up his sword once again to vanquish a growing evil.
Anchored by a star-making performance by James Purefoy (RESIDENT EVIL, ROME, THE PHILANTHORPIST), SOLOMON KANE is an action-packed, dark and intense story with a stellar supporting cast, including Pete Postlethwaite (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, THE CONSTANT GARDNER), Max Von Sydow (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, THE TUDORS), Rachel Hurd Wood (PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER), Alice Krige (DEADWOOD, SILENT HILL, STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT) and Mackenzie Crook (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN trilogy).
Said Michael J. Bassett, “I hope that when the fans see the clips of Kane and meet James Purefoy they’re going to know that this film is an authentic and serious minded attempt to make a quality heroic-fantasy movie. Robert E. Howard is one of the founding fathers of fantasy fiction, so being able to bring him to the true genre fans of the San Diego Comic Con is really exciting and a huge privilege for me.”
The critically acclaimed horror movie Late Night With the Devil was released into theaters nationwide last month, and after scaring up over $10 million, it’s now available at home!
How and where can you watch Late Night with the Devil at home, you ask?
The easiest – and cheapest – way to watch Late Night with the Devil at home is to stream the film on Shudder, which is currently its exclusive streaming home. That will of course require a subscription to Shudder; if you don’t already have one of those – and you should! – you can sign up today and get the first seven days for free, with plans starting at $5.99 per month.
But Shudder isn’t the only place you can watch the film, even if it’s the only streaming service it’s available on. You can also digitally purchase Late Night with the Devil on platforms such as Prime Video and Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), where it’ll cost you $14.99.

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence. The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.”
Late Night with the Devil was also praised by both Stephen King and Kevin Smith, with King tweeting: “Late Night with the Devil. It’s absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Your results may vary, as they say, but I urge you to watch it when you can.”
