11 EXHILARATING Scenes From Average Movies

11. Season of the Witch - The Witch's Reveal

The beauty of a Nicolas Cage film is you never know what to expect. You could have a nail-biting thriller like Mandy, or a cult classic like Con-Air. Season of the Witch, however, is a Cage flick with half his irresistible manic flair.

Two crusader knight deserters are tasked with transporting a young girl, Anna, to a monastery. The church believes Anna is a witch and is causing the Black Death to sweep across the Holy Roman Empire. It's a promising premise, with the group of transporters questioning the church's motives and whether the caged Anna is completely innocent. What actually follows is an incredibly dull, dreary journey through the muddy forests of Austria.

Upon arriving at the monastery, the surviving members of the group find all the monks dead from the plague and attempt to perform a ritual for witches. The ritual reveals that Anna is indeed not a witch: she is possessed by an incredibly powerful and very angry demon.

Anna's transformation is bone-chilling, marking a gear-shift in the plot's pace as Cage and his crew must combat the demon to buy time for an exorcism. All that boring trudging through Austria's grey landscape paid off.
