A noble knight battles a wicked witch in a bid to save humanity from an ancient evil in this supernatural thriller starring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman. Upon returning to his home in Europe, crusading knight Behmen (Cage) finds his faith beginning to falter due to the brutality he's witnessed on the battlefield. The Black Plague has decimated the countryside, forcing Behmen and his loyal companion, Felson (Perlman), to seek sustenance and supplies at the Palace of Marburg. They're weary from war, but they're about to discover that their struggle is just beginning. Commanded by the moribund Cardinal to deliver a suspected witch to the abbey where her powers can be abolished, Behman accepts the assignment under the condition that the young peasant girl will receive a fair trial. The church believes the girl to be the one responsible for the Black Plague, and they may be right, too. As the two men and a small group of chaperones set out on their arduous mission, they quickly realize that their young charge is something more than human, and that they're about to face an evil beyond human comprehension. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A young medical student enrolls in the prestigious college where her father once taught in order to investigate his mysterious death, uncovering evidence of conspiracy and corruption at the same time the school loosens its notoriously strict admissions policy. For the past 900 years Bridgeford University, Trinity College has been the learning institution of choice for the wealthy elite. Now, they're about to open their hallowed halls to commoners for the very first time. Her father Richard having recently perished immediately after resigning from Trinity, Charlotte Arc (Antonia Bernath) signs up for classes and prepares to launch an exhaustive investigation. But getting answers won't be easy. The Dandelion Club is a secret society at Trinity that seems to have a tight stronghold on the flow of information. Its members are the richest of the rich; privileged and arrogant, they answer to no one. Meanwhile, malevolent Professor Maltravers (Charles Dance) presides over it all with a diabolical glimmer in his eye, and the student body seems determined to prevent the newest arrivals from hastening the downfall of the mighty institution. Now the closer Charlotte gets to the truth, the greater the danger grows. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
