Set in the 14th century, three women accused of witchcraft are hanged by a priest. The priest performs a ritual to prevent the bodies from coming back to life. While successfully completing the ritual for the first two of the bodies from left to right, the third takes on a demonic appearance and kills the priest. Meanwhile, Teutonic Knights Behmen of Bleibruck (Cage) and Felson (Perlman) are engaged in a (fictional) crusade, taking part in several different battles throughout the 1330s, eventually taking part in the Smyrniote crusades. After witnessing the massacre of civilians during the 1344 capture of Smyrna, the two knights choose to desert the Order and the crusade and return to Germany.

IMDB Rating: 5.4/10

Season of the Witch (2011)

While traveling through Styria, they encounter the grotesque sight of people infected with the Black Death and soon discover that the Holy Roman Empire has been swept by the plague. Upon entering the medieval town of Marburg (the German name for Maribor once part of the Duchy of Styria, now in Slovenia), the two try to conceal their identity as deserters, but are revealed as knights by the crest on Behmen's sword, and he and Felson are arrested. They are taken to Cardinal D'Ambroise, who is infected with the plague. The Cardinal asks the knights to escort an alleged witch suspected of causing the plague, to a remote monastery where an elite group of monks reside, capable of determining if the girl is truly a witch. If she is found guilty, the monks know a sacred ritual that can cancel her powers, and stop the plague that is devastating Europe.

The two knights agree under the condition that she will be given a fair trial and that the charges of desertion against them are dropped. The Cardinal agrees, and they set out accompanied by a priest Debelzeq; Kay of Wollenbarth, a young altar boy who wants to become a knight like his deceased father; Eckhart, a knight whose family were killed by the plague; and the well-traveled swindler Hagamar who is serving as their guide to the monastery in return for a pardon. The witch, a young girl later identified as Anna, shows hatred towards Debelzeq and forms a bond with Behmen.

Season of the Witch (2011)

Shortly after setting off, the group camp for the night, and Eckhart volunteers to watch the witch for the first night. After a while, Debelzeq comes to relieve Eckhart, who decides to remain with him. He tells Debelzeq about his daughter Mila, who resembled Anna. When Eckhart gets up to leave, Anna becomes hysterical at the prospect of being left alone with the priest, attacking him and grabbing his key to the cage. She escapes and flees toward a nearby village. The search for her leads the group to a mass grave, where Eckhart has visions of his dead daughter. Running after the visions, he impales himself on Kay's sword and dies. When they recapture her, the tearful Anna explains that she only ran away for fear of Debelzeq. One man down, the group become less trusting of Anna. The group manage to successfully cross a rickety rope bridge, during which Anna saves Kay from falling to his death by grabbing him with one hand, showing an unnatural strength. The group enter the dark forest called Wormwood, where Hagamar attempts to kill Anna so the group can go home, only to be stopped by the others. Anna appears to summon wolves, who chase the group and kill Hagamar. An enraged Behmen tries to kill Anna, but is stopped by Debelzeq and Felson, who points out that the monastery is in sight.

Arriving at the monastery, the men find all of the monks have been killed by the plague but locate the Key of Solomon, an ancient book filled with holy rituals used to defeat evil. The men confront Anna, with Debelzeq beginning to perform a ritual used on witches. However, as Anna begins precisely recanting stories from Behmen's past, Debelzeq comes to the realization that she is not a witch, and begins frantically performing an exorcism. However, the demon that is possessing Anna reveals itself and melts the metal. The demon effortlessly fights off the knights, but when Debelzeq throws a vial of holy water on it, it flies away out of sight. As the men search for the demon, they come to the realization that it isn't trying to escape, but is trying to destroy the book so that nothing can stop it.

Season of the Witch (2011)

When they find a room where the monks were writing copies of the book, the demon appears, destroys the copies and possesses the dead monks' bodies to use as weapons. The three men fight the possessed monks while Debelzeq continues the exorcism ritual. During the fight, the demon kills Debelzeq, then proceeds to kill Felson. Kay picks up the book and continues the ritual, while Behmen continues fighting the demon. Behmen is mortally wounded during the fight, but Kay is able to finish the ritual and the demon is obliterated, freeing Anna. Behmen asks Kay to keep Anna safe, then dies of his wounds.

Kay and Anna bury their fallen friends, and Anna requests that Kay tell her about the men who saved her; they depart from the monastery with the book in hand.
Season of the Witch is a 2011 American fantasy action film starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Dominic Sena. Cage stars with Ron Perlman as Teutonic Knights, who return from the Crusades to find their fatherland ruined by the Black Death. Two church elders accuse a girl (Claire Foy) of being a witch and being responsible for the destruction and command the knights to transport the girl to a monastery so the monks there can lift her curse from the land.

Development on the film began in 2000 when the spec script by screenwriter Bragi F. Schut was purchased by MGM. The project moved from MGM to Columbia Pictures to Relativity Media, where the film was finally produced by Charles Roven and Alex Gartner. Filming took place primarily in Austria, Hungary and Croatia. Season of the Witch was released on January 7, 2011 in the United States, Canada and several other territories. The film received negative reviews.

Season of the Witch (2011)

Behmen è un crociato del XIV secolo (è una scelta di fantasia, dato che le crociate finirono circa un secolo prima) che, assieme al suo compagno d'armi Felson, abbandona le crociate a causa del suo rimorso per aver ucciso anche donne ed innocenti per volontà della Chiesa e decide di tornare a casa: per questo atto i due verranno considerati dei disertori.

Nel viaggio di rientro troveranno la propria terra devastata dalla peste nera. Giunti ad una cittadella assediata dal morbo, i due crociati vengono riconosciuti ed arrestati; avendo pochi uomini a disposizione, viene però chiesto loro dal locale vescovo-conte di prendere in custodia una strega, ritenuta autrice della pestilenza, e di portarla in una remota abbazia dove i monaci possano processarla e giustiziarla per poter fermare l'epidemia.

Il prete Debelzaq, il cavaliere in lutto per la morte di tutta la sua famiglia Eckhardt, il truffatore itinerante Hagamar e il testardo giovane chierico Kay si uniscono ai due crociati nella missione, accompagnandoli in regioni selvagge e pericolose.

Durante il tragitto Eckhardt e Hagamar muoiono in circostanze particolari: il primo si uccide gettandosi sulla spada di Kay, mentre era in preda ad allucinazioni che gli mostravano sua figlia, e il secondo muore sbranato da lupi che sembrano privi di ragione e comandati da qualcosa di malvagio. Debelzaq accusa la prigioniera di aver usato la sua stregoneria per impedire che fosse portata all'abbazia e per fuggire; Behmen, che inizialmente aveva pena per la donna, comincia anch'egli a nutrire dei sospetti per le varie stranezze e per l'inspiegabile forza fisica della ragazza.

Giunti all'abbazia, i quattro scoprono che la peste ha raggiunto anche quel luogo e che tutti i monaci sono oramai morti. Debelzaq ritrova la Chiave di Salomone, antico libro che permette anche di fermare la presunta strega, e decide di compiere lui stesso il rito. Una volta iniziato, la donna tenta di confondere Behmen pronunciado le parole del suo generale di crociata ed accusandolo di essere un orribile peccatore ed assassino. Il prete comprende dunque che la donna non è in realtà una strega ma un'anima posseduta dal demonio stesso, ed inizia a compiere il rito di esorcismo. Il demone riesce però a distruggere la gabbia in cui è rinchiuso e fugge, volando in una torre dell'abbazia.

Il gruppo capisce che il demone era realmente la causa della peste e che si era fatto appositamente portare lì per distruggere l'ultima copia rimasta del libro magico. Trovata la creatura, Debelzaq prova nuovamente a compiere il rito, ma viene ucciso dal mostro mentre gli altri sono impegnati a combattere i cadaveri dei monaci, ora posseduti anche loro. Allora Kay si sostituisce al prete per compiere il rituale mentre Behmen e Felson ingaggiano un combattimento con il demone per tenerlo impegnato. Il rito viene portato a termine ed il demone scacciato, ma con il sacrificio dei due crociati.

Kay e Anna, la donna ora non più posseduta, si mettono in viaggio portando con loro la Chiave di Salomone, dopo aver seppellito il prete ed i due crociati.

Recovery Volumes (.rev)

Recovery volumes or .rev files are special files which can be created by WinRAR/RAR and allow you to reconstruct missing and damaged files in a volume set. They can
only be used with multi-volume archives.

This feature may be useful for backups or, for example, when you post a multivolume archive to a newsgroup and some of the subscribers did not receive some files. Reposting recovery volumes instead of usual volumes may reduce the total number of files to repost.

Each recovery volume is able to reconstruct one missing RAR volume. For example, if you have 30 volumes and 3 recovery volumes, you are able to reconstruct any 3 missing volumes. If the number of .rev files is less than a number of missing volumes, reconstructing is impossible. The total number of usual and recovery volumes must not exceed 255 and the number of recovery volumes must be less than the number of RAR volumes.

WinRAR reconstructs missing and damaged volumes either when clicking on .rev file, or when using rc command or automatically, if it cannot locate the next volume and finds the required number of .rev files when unpacking.

You may use the "Recovery volumes" option in the Archive name and parameters dialog or a similar option also appears in the Protect archive command to create recovery volumes. In the command line mode you may do it with -rv switch or rv command.

Original copies of damaged volumes are renamed to *.bad before reconstruction. For example, volname.part03.rar will be renamed to volname.part03.rar.bad.
