Season of the Witch Review

Messages: The movie has negative things to say about churches -- i.e. that they willfully murder entire armies in the name of God. The hero quits this service to live what is portrayed as a more spiritual life, one in which he can consider God's more forgiving side. He works hard to overcome the sins of his past. He slips from time to time, but his path is overall a good one.

Role models: After deciding during the Crusades that killing people may not actually be what God has in mind, Behmen quits and becomes an outsider. But in doing so, he routinely considers the spiritual weight in everything he does. He sometimes slips, but he's always trying to correct the mistakes of his past.

Violence: Heavy fantasy violence, with scary images of demons, witches, zombies, and possessed wolves. Also swordfighting and some blood, with lots of dead bodies. Violence is committed against women, including beating and hanging. The movie takes place during the Black Plague, and there are several horrific victims covered with terrible sores.

Sex: A young woman is seen lying on the floor, naked, but no sensitive body parts are shown. The heroes are briefly seen celebrating in a tavern, with wenches sitting on their laps.

Language: One use of "s--t." Other words include "piss," "bitch" "ass," "damn," and "hell."

Consumerism: Not an issue

Drinking, drugs and smoking: One character carries a flask and drinks from time to time. One quick shot of the two heroes celebrating, drinking in a tavern after a battle.
