Fantasy adventure starring Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie and Elijah Wood. Just before he killed the Witch Queen, the medieval warrior Kaulder was cursed by her with eternal life and he has spent centuries crossing the world and eliminating witchcraft wherever it seeks to gain power. But his old adversary has risen again and, in modern-day New York, Kaulder is forced into an epic new battle.
Cut from the same action fantasy material as the Blade, Highlander, and Underworld franchises, this entertaining supernatural romp finds witch hunter Vin Diesel - cursed with immortality in medieval times - trying to stop the rebirth in modern Manhattan of a Witch Queen determined to unleash a new strain of bubonic plague upon mankind. Stemming from the brawny superstar's love of the Dungeons and Dragons game, and offering an impressively textured universe considering it's not based on an established property, this horror hokum always remains intriguing and imaginative even if the Good v Evil battles go on CGI overdrive. It's expertly cast from a talent pool with a host of mythological adventure credits between them, meaning they have that crucial self-awareness factor down pat. Diesel centres the magical mischief with his winning muscular charm, while priestly adviser Michael Caine adds a welcome touch of charismatic class.
