It’s an insulting piece of genre fluff that feels conceived by Dungeons and Dragons aficionados and executed with the sophistication of a hack-and-slash video game.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 3, 2023

Doesn't aim very high, which at least allows it to accomplish what it sets out to do.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2020

The best thing that can be said about Season of the Witch is that this season ends in 98 minutes and I never have to live through it again.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 22, 2020

This is not a good film, not in the least.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 12, 2020

Mis-marketed as an epic, 14th century adventure, this is one of the funniest, most ridiculous movies in a long time. "Season" borders on slapstick, and even more moments when you fully expect the entire cast of "Monty Python" poke around a corner.

| Original Score: C | Jul 14, 2020

More than a little silly, but it does have decent-enough entertainment value for its target audience. You'll know if you're in that audience.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 3, 2019

Season of the Witch is ridiculous in every way. But it's as ridiculous as any ironic fan of Nicolas Cage or hammy, "swords 'n' spells" nonsense could ever wish it to be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2018

It could have been a campy, but interesting fantasy adventure...Instead, it's just boring and tedious. Someone obviously rolled a 1 on their d20.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 4, 2018

The anticlimactic scenes all lead up to an inevitable CGI-heavy showdown: Good vs. Evil, featuring a clan of grotesque zombie monks and a winged demon as realistic as the one Eddie Murphy jacks up in The Golden Child.

| Original Score: D- | Jan 29, 2018

Cage merely stands around looking glum, letting his hair extensions do the acting for him.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

The filmmakers try to use special effects to cover up the weaknesses of the story, but even on that point they fail pretty badly.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 21, 2012

Not the stinker that everyone says it is, but you do have to ignore its flaws in order to be entertained.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 4, 2012

After a while, the movie tires of the witch business and trots out a plot twist that permits the effects department to spend money.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 24, 2011

Another forgettable trifle from Cage.

| Oct 7, 2011

It's an Uwe Boll kind of film that's been directed with a certain degree of competency by previous Cage collaborator Dominic Sena.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2011

Have low expectations for this movie and you might just be surprised.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2011

I may be in the minority of critics to think so, but Season Of The Witch is an enjoyable medieval thriller that's well-made in spite of some moments of silliness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 12, 2011

Although I will likely be disemboweled from my toes to my nose (metaphorically speaking only, I hope) for this proclamation, I didn't think Season of the Witch was all that bad!*

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 6, 2011

Cage's disappointingly subdued performance stands as the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 1, 2011

God's teeth!
