Kaulder (Vin Diesel) is a witch hunter cursed with immortality about almost 800 years ago by the Witch Queen (who was planning to release a plague to destroy humanity) before he seemingly kills her. During the centuries, Kaulder works for a religious organization called the Axe and Cross to enforce and maintain the fragile truce between humanity and the witches.  His exploits are chronicled by a priest known as a Dolan.  The 36^th Dolan (Michael Caine) is about to retire and the 37^th Dolan (Elijah Wood) will take his place.  When the 36^th Dolan is discovered to be murdered by witchcraft, Kaulder must remember his death and stop a new plague from destroying humanity with the help of a witch named Chloe (Rose Leslie).

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER has franchise written all over it as they are already developing a script for a sequel.  It has great action and visuals.  It will entertain Vin Diesel fans as they wait for another Riddick or Fast and the Furious sequel.  Some of the characters serve as a means for Vin to play off of or to further the plot with Elijah Wood’s character being underdeveloped.   I was entertained enough by it as I would watch a sequel to this movie as the concept and characters show promise.
