![]() He has recently announced his retirement, however, and named his successor, Dolan No. ![]() The so-called “36th Dolan” (Michael Caine) has long played the loyal Alfred to Kaulder’s Batman. These presumably Catholic clerics belong to a secret society called the Axe and Cross, dedicated to maintaining the uneasy peace between humans and witches. He’s been assisted, for the past eight centuries, by a succession of priest-confessors called the Dolans - no relation, one trusts, to the cardinal-archbishop of New York. Consumed with the desire for vengeance, he slays the all-powerful Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht), destroying her minions in the process.īefore she dies, however, the queen curses Kaulder with the gift of eternal life - and never-ending solitude.įlash forward to modern-day Manhattan, and Kaulder - dashing and dapper in designer suits - works in the shadows, keeping an eye out for rogue spell-casters. Valiant if scruffy warrior Kaulder (Vin Diesel) has lost both his wife and daughter to the black-magic malady. These vile, zombie-like creatures bear no resemblance whatever to the cinematic gold standard of witchiness: green-skinned Margaret Hamilton in “The Wizard of Oz.” It’s a dark time when bad witches have unleashed a plague to destroy humanity.
