At long last, Solomon Kane hitting DVD/Blu-Ray stateside in July

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

If you've been patiently waiting to finally check out SOLOMON KANE on DVD or Blu-Ray, your wait will soon be over as Anchor Bay and Radius-TWC have set a release date of July 16, 2013 for the long-delayed (at least in our neck of the woods) film.

It was many moons ago that our friends across the pond in the UK were able to scoop up the James Purefoy-starring flick that our very own The Arrow described as "a top notch horror fantasy with a high body count!", but now those of us who have sat around waiting on word as to when we will finally be able to peep this badboy will finally get to see what the fuss was all about. If you need a refresher (and it has certainly been long enough to warrant one), here's the synopsis:

Captain Solomon Kane is a brutally efficient 16th century killing machine. Armed with his signature pistols, cutlass and rapier, he and his men unleash their bloodlust as they fight for England in war after war on all continents. As the story opens, Kane and his band of pillagers are carving a bloody path through hordes of defenders in an exotic city in northern Africa. But, when Kane decides to attack a mysterious nearby castle to plunder its rumored riches, his mission takes a fateful turn. One by one, Kane's men are picked off by demonic creatures until he alone is left to face the Devil's own Reaper — dispatched from the depths of Hell to lay claim to his hopelessly corrupt soul. Though Kane at last manages to escape, he knows that he now must redeem himself by renouncing violence and devoting himself wholly to a life of peace and purity.

The film was directed by Michael J. Bassett (“Da Vinci’s Demons” and SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D) and stars James Purefoy (“The Following”), the late Pete Postlethwaite, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Max von Sydow (THE EXORCIST).  The character Solomon Kane was created by pulp-era writer and mind behind Conan the Barbarian, Robert E. Howard.

SOLOMON KANE Blu-Ray and DVD special features will include a ‘Making Of’ featurette, interviews and commentary with Director Michael J. Bassett, the producers & cast, a deleted scene, gallery images and Special FX featurette.

Look for it on July 16.
