Unless you feel compelled to watch all the films witch medieval village located in a bad luck, you can probably jump again SyFy “Witchville.”

Even people who are not students of film as a witch, it feels pretty formulaic, give or take a beautiful blonde in a hood.

Luke Goss, a hot ticket in the world of science fiction, plays Malachy, who has inherited a kingdom of his recently deceased father.

Dad did not leave the kingdom in great shape, unfortunately. The Red Queen (Sarah Douglas) believes that the kingdom out of it and has been casting spells and committing treason another witch who has left demoralized and impoverished citizens.

Malachy, who has been out of town, not understanding the scope of the problem until it is mounted in the village with his brothers Erik (Andrew Pleavin) and Jason (Hunky young Ed Speleers).

Soon running on Heinrich Kramer (Simon Thorp), a professional witch hunter. This is a career option in medieval times.

Kramer begins to explain what is happening, and admits he feels frustrated. Malachy father tried to join the battle against the Red Queen and not work, which ends with the king died and everything.

The brothers remain skeptical until Kramer brings a dead rabbit comes alive, when the signs of Malachy and out to face the Red Queen.

The Queen has the power to cast spells and do great damage by blowing red clouds through the air. She also has traditional muscular thugs and a beautiful daughter, the mysterious Jozefa (MyAnna Burying).

Jozefa is wild. While she will inherit the kingdom if his mother has suffered, it also seems attracted by Jason, for reasons not necessary to understand the witchcraft.

Malachy and Kramer put together a squad on the road, the incorporation of an outlaw band led by a tattooed woman played by Gillian Tan

The two sides finally move to their inevitable confrontation, with bloodshed both conventional and the X factor of all spells.

Movies like this are often based on the quality of special effects, and unfortunately, the effects here appear to be anything special.

Many are filmed in dark, as usual when the filmmakers do not have a big budget. Neither spells have a very interesting visual impact on their victims.

It’s a minor problem that the quality often feels forced and stylized. That’s what science fiction films often demand, because it makes them feel more like part of the alternate world they are creating.

In the end, “Witchville” just does not feel very charming.
