Season of the Witch

According to IMDB Season of the Witch is about 14th-century knights who transport a suspected witch to a monastery, where monks deduce her powers could be the source of the Black Plague.

We are total geeks when it comes to anything Medieval or that could be reinacted during a session of D&D, so this movie looked like it could have some potential. The main caveat for us was that Nicholas Cage is the main actor in this movie. We do not usually like his movies and this really did not look like a good role for him. For that reason Mr. L gave this movie a pre-rating as a BAD MOVIE.

After going to this movie and running it through our rating system, we were pleasantly surprised.

Despite our initial misgivings, this movie was actually pretty good. The story line was unique and had good follow through. The special effects and cinematography were nothing special but still done very well. The main issue with this movie was the black hole that is Nicholas Cage’s acting, consuming all good actors in his way (Ron Perlman did a great job). Overall this movie was entertaining and well done. If you don’t hate Nicholas Cage then this should be a good movie for you.
