Witchville (2010)

Even with the presence of rising genre stars like Luke Goss and the delightful MyAnna Buring and veteran Sarah Douglas, there is nothing to recommend Witchville, a SyFy Channel sword-and-sorcery snoozefest.

Former pop star Luke Goss is Malachy, who discovers he's heir to a kingdom (which consists of one village and about 40 peasants) that is being plagued by witches - only witches here aren't your run-of-mill fairytale or Charmed witches, but an odd cocktail of mutants and Supernatural-style demons (complete with the smoke effect - but red instead of black).

On his way to fight the Queen Of The Witches (Sarah Douglas), Luke and his bros get attacked by a random group of Asian bandits (because it was filmed in China, apparently) who they then decide to team up with. WTF?

It's all, sadly, a bit dull, mechanically acted and uninspiring - despite the great landscapes.

There's a feeble attempt at a Star Wars/Darth Vader twist towards the end but I was nodding off by that stage.

Remember, I watch these films so you don't have to...
