The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now…Annabelle.

Synopsis:

“BLACK SAILS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON” begins in 1715 The Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean is at its apex.

A man driven by deep, complicated, even romantic motives.  He will ally himself with the beautiful Eleanor Guthrie (Hannah New), daughter of the local smuggling kingpin who turns the pirates’ loot into profits.  Together, they forge a plan to hunt the ultimate prize, and by winning it, stave off reclamation of their home by a resurgent empire.

His name is John Silver (Luke Arnold). Continue reading “[Blu-Ray Review] ‘Black Sails: The Complete First Season’: Arrives On Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital HD January 6th From Starz & Anchor Bay”
