This movie is pretty bad ass!! A fantasy movie that tells the tale of Paxti, once a soldier, during the First Carlist War of 1833, in Basque, yea I had to look that one up too, he sold his soul to a demon named Sartael, so he could return home to his wife... This dude survives a firing squad, then kills every one of em! Now we find him working as a blacksmith, with his homecoming shrouded in tragedy and has made him a pretty brutal no nonsense type guy... And oh yea, using the same tricks demons use on us poor humans Paxti uses on Sartael, and he's now under lock and key... And he wants it to stay that way, because once the demon is free, well, he will be taking a certain blacksmiths soul to Hell, and he's done a pretty good job at it, until a government man came asking questions, and an interesting orphaned girl named Usue, may break through that hard shell. It's a Hell of a ride, straight thru it in fact! it was like if del Toro made a Buffy-esque fable, it'd look like this! Filmbufftim on FB.
