![]() The supernatural world depicted in The Last Witch Hunter is interesting. The key to solving the mystery, a critical moment forgotten by Kaulder in his ancient battle with the Witch Queen. Kaulder, with an earnest but naïve new Dolan ( Elijah Wood), investigates a conspiracy that threatens the world. But the peace shatters after a surprise attack by a fearsome witch. Kaulder, when he's not shagging flight attendants, has instilled fear and order in witches. They assign a priest, a dolan, to be Kaulder's handler as he hunts derelict witches.Įight hundred years later in present day New York City, the 36th Dolan ( Michael Caine) is on the verge of retirement. Cursed to live forever, he allies himself with The Axe and Cross, a secret religious organization that upholds the truce between man and witches. ![]() His showdown with the Queen bestows immortality on Kaulder. Killing Kaulder's beloved wife and daughter. The Witch Queen creates the Black Death plague to wipe out man. Voice over narration tells us that witches, and their magical blood, have existed alongside humans since the beginning. The story begins in the dark ages with Kaulder ( Vin Diesel) leading an expedition to find the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht). I half expected a muscle car to tear through a scene with Dom from the Fast and Furious franchise at the helm. The acting, particularly from lead Vin Diesel, is poor. But as in most things, it's the execution of the idea that falls flat. The visual effects and the overall occult storyline had promise. There are entertaining elements, just not enough to make the film worth recommending. The Last Witch Hunter is a disappointment, but not terribly so. ![]()
