Season of the Witch is about two knights, Behmen and Felson, who have joined the crusades. Fed up with killing in the name of God they desert and head home. But needing to get some food and fresh horses they decide to enter a town, which they learn have been stricken with a horrific plague. The blame for it is put on a young woman, a girl, a self confessed witch. As deserters Behmen and Felson are first put in jail, but then released if they agree to escort the witch to Seravac, a monastery were they have an ancient book that will break the witch's power.
This movie, even if I always like knights, swords and the medieval times, rely heavily on Cage and Perlman, and they do it well. The action is good, the story is about average even if has some good puns and one-liners. The effects could be better, I'll have to say, and Season of the Witch won't be a movie that I remember for long but in the end the movie is good fun and entertaining all the way. And that's what is all about, isn't it?
6/10
