However, the pacing off the movie feels off. The plot sounds interesting, and there are many intriguing elements in this movie, such as how magic works in this setting. He decides to seek the help of a witch, Chloe, only to make her the target of the enemy’s wrath too. But what? What does the 36th Dolan know that will attract such attention? Also, the old man isn’t really dead – just placed under a deadly spell that renders him out of consciousness, but the old man will die in two days if Kaulder doesn’t kill the person who cast the spell by the end of the second day. Kaulder quickly discovers that the old man’s death is due to necromancy, the foulest kind of magic, and someone is clearly out to get… something. Well, the new partnership will be tested when the 36th Dolan ends up dead – apparently from a heart attack on the very night of his last day at work. Even better, the 37th Dolan is determined to be loyal to Kaulder because the man once saved this Dolan’s life when this Dolan was a child. The 37th Dolan is more in tune with modern technology, which makes him a good match to Kaulder – who likes fast cars, faster stewardesses, and such. When the movie opens, the 36th Dolan opts for retirement, and introduces a much younger man – known as the 37th Dolan, of course – as his replacement to Kaulder. His assistant is always a Father Dolan, named after the priest who fought by his side during his fateful encounter with the Witch Queen. Kaulder wanted to kill the Witch Queen to avenge his wife and kid, and well, he got what he wanted, but it came with a cost: in her dying breath, the Witch Queen cursed him to walk the world, never to die, and always be miserable and sad, that kind of thing.įor the last 800 years or so, Kaulder has been serving as a cop and executioner for the Axe and Cross, an association affiliated with the church (I’m not sure which church or whether the Pope is involved, so don’t ask me). This was back in the old days, when witches under the rule of the Witch Queen openly walk the world and seek to destroy human beings because they were all evil and funny like that.

Basically, in this one we meet Kaulder, a warrior who was cursed by his hated rival, the Witch Queen, after he administered the coup de grace on her. The Last Witch Hunter could have been an interesting action-packed urban fantasy flick, but it has a worthless script. Main cast: Vin Diesel (Kaulder), Elijah Wood (The 37th Dolan), Rose Leslie (Chloe), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Belial), Julie Engelbrecht (The Witch Queen), and Michael Caine (The 36th Dolan)
