To its credit, the movie is also aware that it doesn’t want to equate witches with womanhood, and although it can be a bit clumsy in how it handles gender roles, at least it tries to give the love interest character, Chloe ( Rose Leslie), her own desires even if it ultimately only serves to help Kaulder’s mission.

There’s refreshing confidence on display that says the audience will either come on board with a character casting spells and walking through a secret world, or they won’t. At its best moments, Last Witch Hunter recalls the unabashedly dark magic details of Constantine and the world building of John Wick. Kaulder prefers to handle matters peacefully when possible, but when his friend Dolan the 36th ( Michael Caine) is attacked, an investigation reveals that the Witch Queen is trying to return.Īfter the movie powers through a rough opening (the action inside of the Witch Queen’s lair is borderline incomprehensible) that also includes Kaulder mansplaining witchcraft to a teenage female witch on an airplane, the story starts to pick up and flesh out the details of Kaulder’s world. Cut to the present day, and Kaulder is the “weapon” of the Axe and Cross, a secret sect of the Catholic Church devoted to stopping witches, who are defined as humans with magic in their blood. Kaulder manages to impale the Witch Queen, but she curses him with immortality.
