In the Middle Ages, Erik (Andrew Pleavin) and Jason (Ed Speleers) seek out his compatriot Malachy (Luke Goss) and force him to return to his homeland. When they arrive, they find that Malachy's father, the King, is dead and their lands are completely devastated.Sooner the witch hunter Kramer (Simon Thorp) meets Malachy and tells him that a coven of witches led by the evil the Red Queen (Sarah Douglas) is the responsible for the destruction of the crops. Malachi teams-up with Erik, Jake, Kramer and four warrior-thieves to find the Red Queen. But the witch is very powerful and the skilled warrior Jozefa (MyAnna Buring) protects her."Witchville" has promising storyline and synopsis, and the DVD has a nice cover. Unfortunately, the film is a lame, boring and messy adventure with poor special effects and acting. When the viewer (me) takes a nap along an adventure of the fantasy genre, something is wrong. The verbose plot associated to the low-budget and soap-opera conclusion makes the film painful to watch. Further, Luke Goss is too week for the lead role of a king; MyAnna Buring is gorgeous but also weak for her important role of a warrior. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Caçadores de Bruxas" ("Witch Hunters")

This movie is just plain awful, not fun awful, not funny awful, just AWFUL! How someone could give this piece of trash more than 1 star is beyond me. Horrible effects, zero plot, even worse acting makes for the perfect mix to create a classic syfy channel movie. It is a real shame that syfy cranks out these stinkers, I love scifi movies, fantasy movies and horror movies so the syfy channel has potential to be a great station but yet they insist on cranking out these pieces of trash on a regular basis. Syfy movie has become a synonym for bad movies. There are so many great low budget scifi and horror movies out there, I will never understand why they insist on creating messes like this instead of spending a little time to find good low budget movies to broadcast.MY rating for this movie is -1.5 out of 10.

I shouldn't rate this yet, haven't finished watching it, however, the Kramer character IS cracking me up. Does anyone else think he speaks like an English accented Captain Kirk, William Shatner 60's style? The pacing and inflection is so funny. I wonder if he realized he was doing that?hahah"They............are...........among us.........even now. Pause "One meal..........for one man.............will not.........." and on and on. I am an avid Sci Fi movie fan...books too....I just wish they had some better writers for the movies ON the Syfy channel. Sheesh. Don't waste your actors.....Luke Goss, Ed Speleers, James Frain (another movie) and more. I'll watch anything with Luke Goss in it. He is just dang gorgeous. So far, about a four on the ratings.

To begin with, this is a TV movie, therefore you should not have a high expectation about it. However, given that fact, I have seen a low budget action movie which is way better than this one. The actions were very bad; there were some sword fight, but when you look at them, it is exactly the actions that were comparable to a play, not a movie. There were a lot of awkward moment where you can actually see that the actors were waiting for the hit to come slowly..... and then try to deflect them. And of course the details were terrible. The minaret for whatever reason was topped with a cross ? Normally; in this kind of movies, books are made of animal skins, but on this one, it is cheaper to use paper... All in all, my suggestion is not to waste your time on this one. I've given a 2 vote for the effort of the actors, despite a very bad direction they still do reasonably well....
