“The Last Witch Hunter” is full of action and big names. The likes of Vin Diesel, Michael Caine, and Elijah Wood star in the film. However, it is also filled with violence and frightening images.
Vin Diesel plays a powerful warrior named Kaulder. The story takes place in the 13th century. The Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht) has placed a curse of the Black Plague on the land. Kaulder and his men fight to eradicate the evil witch and her goons. However, she places a curse of immortality on Kaulder. The movie then jumps to the present, and we learn that even in contemporary times, Kaulder is still fighting against witches in service of the Catholic Church.
When a character named Dolan 36th (Michael Caine), a protector of Kaulder’s, dies after handing the reigns over to the young priest Dolan 37th (Elijah Wood), Kaulder realizes his battle against the witches may not yet be finished. Despite the theme of good versus evil and a plot twist, the film’s scary images and violence prevent us from awarding the movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal.
