In the year 1600, in North Africa, English mercenary Solomon Kane leads his ship’s crew into battle against the Ottoman occupiers of a fortress town. The priest tries to feed Kane to his parishioners, who have become ghouls, but Kane escapes, only to face the robbers who attacked him earlier, now corrupted servants of Malachi.

“As an author, you can’t expect a movie to be an illustration of the book. If that’s what you hope for, you shouldn’t sell the rights.”
