Maximalist horror-comedy has become such a mainstay of 21st-century indie cinema that a late-’80s-set lesbian romance that uses schlocky gore tinged with meta humor to figuratively explore the tumult of new love is hardly as outré as it would have seemed a decade ago. Rose Glass’s Love Lies Bleeding, with its hyper-saturated, giallo-evoking cinematography and lapses into fantastical imagery, freely plays with the boundaries of realism. This hyper-stylization, accompanied by a steady score of growling synths, packs some punches, but that isn’t to say that we can’t see a fair portion of them coming.

After a pretty cool one-sheet that debuted on the site this morning, we now have a look at the comic book inspired alternative poster along with two more photos of James Purefoy as the brutally efficient 16th Century 'fuck-you-up' machine that helps defend an exotic African village. This has to appeal to at least one of you, right?

Solomon Kane is one of those mythical movies that has been kicking around for a long time. We first covered it as far back as Comic-Con 2008, and possibly even before that. It's finally coming out in theaters this fall. We have a new one-sheet that proves that fact to be true. Check it out, it might turn out to be pretty cool despite the long wait time (or it might turn to dust as soon as it hits the screen).

Every year, Comic-Con unleashes its fair share of surprises, with numerous stars popping in who weren't on the official schedule. One of the biggest surprises this year may very well be the release of this new trailer and poster for Solomon Kane, which will be released on VOD formats August 24 before its stateside theatrical debut September 28. James Purefoy stars as the title character, a 16th Century soldier who vows to live a life of peace after his soul was taken by the devil. His peaceful ways don't last for long, though, as he vows to free a Puritan's daughter from slavery. Check out the latest footage from director Michael J. Bassett's period action-adventure, along with the new 1-sheet.

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.." 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.
