The trailer for Season of the Witch (2011) sets the tone for a dark and gritty medieval action-horror film starring Nicolas Cage. The movie follows two knights, Behmen (Cage) and Felson (Ron Perlman), who return from the Crusades only to find their homeland ravaged by the Black Plague. They are tasked with transporting a suspected witch, Anna (Claire Foy), believed to be responsible for the plague, to a distant abbey where monks can determine her fate.
The trailer begins with haunting images of medieval villages stricken by disease and devastation, accompanied by ominous music.

The tension builds as they journey through treacherous terrain, battling supernatural forces and internal doubts.
As the trailer progresses, flashes of intense action scenes are shown, including sword fights, eerie visions, and a growing sense that the girl they are transporting may not be as innocent as she seems.
