Season of the Witch

Ratings: 7.0/10
Film Class: B
Genre: Action Thriller

Decent movie which flutters between the action thriller genre and the horror genre. Managed to sit through it without jumping up in my seat so the action thriller genre preveils. The movie plays with your expectations and throws a totally new direction towards the end. I'm fond of the storyline, as well as the castings.

Nicholas Cage and Ron Perlman make quite the exceptional duo, almost like the Ghost Rider meets Hellboy teaming up to battle against a common evil. Was an overall watchable movie about 2 outcast crusader knights escorting a priest, a swindler and a young wannabe knight to meet the monks of a faraway abbey. "Conveniently", their final destination is like most others movies such as the Lord of the Rings, tucked away amongst the most remote part of the country, filled with dark obstacles and life threatening encounters.

It didn't feel like a low budget movie because of the CG (though not fantastic but was decent) as well as the 2 main leads. In fact, I kinda liked the ending. Enjoyed how Nicholas Cage was able to get out of his seemingly hopeless situation despite all odds. And like most other Nicholas Cage movies... hmm... then again, I shan't spoil it for you. If you're a follower of his movies, you know what I mean. And this movie is no exception.

Recommended.
