In Season of the Witch, Nicholas Cage serves as mankind’s last hope in medieval knight form, battling an evil witch held to be responsible for the Black Plague.

“So if I tell you that a medieval action-adventure starring Nicolas Cage, directed by the guy who made Gone in Sixty Seconds and released in January – traditional burying ground of cinematic failure – is kind of trashy and stupid, I’m guessing you’re all, like, yawn.” -Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com

“Season of the Witch isn’t even bad in an enjoyable way. The scenery is drab, the battles are interchangeable, and no one seems particularly interested in being here.” -Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

“The characters are utterly charmless, the plot rarely veers off course, the performances are lazy, the visual effects sub-standard, and the direction approximates something between a turgid bargain basement swords-and-shields adventure pic and, in the case of the acrid, faux-epic battle scenes at the start, a particularly shoddy cut-scene in a particularly naff mid-90s PlayStation game.” -Shaun Munro, obsessedwithfilm.com

Season of the Witch opens Friday, January 7. Check out movie times here.
