As far as story goes, despite the seemingly cliché setup, I'd say it was stronger than usual for that kind of supernatural-action film with a few good twists I didn't see coming. After that Middle-Ages intro, I thought all the witches would be evil, despicable, one-dimensional creatures (which would have been boring) but then again, I was fooled as we actually delved more into the modern witch community. In fact, on more than one occasion, his hero actually showed restraint and compassion, which was quite refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised to find Vin Diesel more smiling and "human" than usual. One would think that Kaulder would be a stereotypical stoic, somber, asocial killing machine, but such is not quite the case. We have Vin Diesel's character, Kaulder, a man who lost his family due to witches, still alive after 800 years and still hunting them. Title (Brazil): "O Último Caçador de Bruxas" ("The Last Witch Hunter")īesides short segments taking place in the Middle Ages and another on a plane, this supernatural flick takes place in modern New York. The conclusion is prepared for a sequel with Kauder's discovery. The excellent cast with Michael Caine, Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie and Elijah Wood give pedigree to the adventure. "The Last Witch Hunter" is an entertaining fantasy with lots of action and special effects. When she uses her abilities to help Kauder, he learns a dreadful secret about his immortality. However the bar is attacked and destroyed by the witch Beliel (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) and Kauder leaves Chloe under his protection. Now Kauder visits the witch Chloe (Rose Leslie), who owns a witch bar, to seek her help to recall his own death following clues left by Dolan 36th. Further, he finds that Dolan 36th is still alive under a powerful spell. Kauder goes to his apartment with Dolan 37th (Elijah Wood) to investigate his death and finds black magic in the spot.
On the same day of his retirement, Dolan 36th dies alone in his apartment. The priest Dolan 36th (Michael Caine) is the liaison between The Axe and Cross and Kauder, giving support and keeping the record of his life.
The witch hunter Kauder and The Axe and Cross that judges and imprisons witches in the darkness are the responsible for keeping the world in peace. Eight hundred years later, there is a balance in the world and the witches live peacefully among humans. The Witch Queen curses Kaulder with eternal life to make him suffer the loss of his wife and daughter for the eternity.
In the Middle Ages, the witch hunter Kaulder (Vin Diesel) hunts down the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht) with the inhabitants of towns devastated by the black plague that she had spread.
