Strengths
Nicolas cage and Ron has played well their knights role and brings some interest in the movie. They both carry the movie single handedly with their seniority.The girl as suspected witch is beautiful and acted good.Last half an hour is thrilling with a interesting twist in the movie. Bridge broken, wolf kills, Church fights .....are saving factor otherwise will be a normal good VS Evil movie.
Photography is excellent with some Zoom in-zoom out shots of the vast landscape in the forest and the deadly valley. Music is pretty fine which is biggest attraction for a witch thriller.Direction is fair enough with racy editing at the last half an hour.
Weakness
First half of the movie goes at a dull pace not even a single scene(Intro....excep) raises/horrors us . Its all the same old story and even a child know that Good is gonna thumbs up at last. Movie revolves around only 4 characters ensures a snail pace. Movie has been in the production for long years which is also big drawback as lot of similar movie thronged in theaters
Verdict:4.5/10( 1 for cast,1 for music, 1 for Second half and 1.5 for the DOP)
Movie canvas punch: Season of the witch is not a hell nor a heaven...
