The weakest link of the film is in the script. The screenwriter Bragi F. Shute is obviously inexperienced, and the stories he writes are top-heavy. Every time he wants to say things to a halt, the beginning and the turn of the story are obviously lacking. Logic cannot withstand scrutiny from beginning to end. In fact, the film has many angles to dig deeper, such as the criticism of the church and the anatomy of the dark side of human nature, but the creators obviously don't want to make a fuss about this aspect, so the end is like a stick in the climax of the confrontation between humans and ghosts. Go, it directly lowered the style of the movie, or in other words, this is the most vulgar way of ending. ()
"Season of the Witch" used only a few people to describe the scale of the medieval battlefield, which can be described as shabby in the scene. Panoramic scanning and shooting, epic magnificent scenes, are difficult to see in the film. Although the scale of the scene was not the first requirement of "Season of the Witch", the perfunctory war scenes greatly reduced the appeal of the Middle Ages and the Crusaders. It preconceived impressions to imply that the film is too far away from the epic. It lacks powerful scene descriptions and delicate and realistic special effects. It only focuses on the description of the strange atmosphere and ignores the darkness and depression of the medieval environment. Regardless of the film format or the conceptual style, "Season of the Witch" can only be counted as a "small" film. (by)
The film lacks an atmosphere of suspense, tension and horror throughout the film, and the tone of the film does not match Cage's wide-eyed eyes. The witches cast their spells very weakly. The director failed to use the language of the film to create a sense of horror and drowning envelopment. The flat and straightforward picture makes people shatter their jaws. The section of the wooden bridge is as pale as white water, without any unexpected vivid scenes. The prison wagon struggled a bit between falling and not falling, and finally did not fall. The conspiracy of the devil in the film is also extremely mentally retarded, and the whole film lacks a kind of foreshadowing and covering of the conspiracy from beginning to end. The appearance of the devil also failed to show a terrifying appearance with the help of lights. On the contrary, the devil is just an alien with wings, and its abilities are really limited. The film fails to highlight the protagonist’s change from doubt to firm belief. The director seems to be sleepwalking, unable to control the whole story. ()
