Night Shyamalan returns to suspense rather unceremoniously with this mild entry that may creep you out but probably won’t give you any memorable frights. Their interaction with their elderly hosts starts to turn peculiar before too long, as their grandparents display some disturbing behavior, leaving the kids to wonder if they’ll make it through the trip alive. Having never met their grandparents, teenage siblings Becca and Tyler (Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould) are excited about spending a week with Grandma and Grandpa (Deanna Dunagan, Peter McRobbie) at their rural Pennsylvania home. Now playing at Wildhorse Stadium Cinemas and Craig’s West Theatre.

Yet the material is so paltry that not even Michael Caine can work his actorly magic (it recalls his helpless flailing in Jaws: The Revenge). The one-dimensional bad guys snarl and cackle and fight the one-dimensional hero Diesel plays a version of his Fast/Furious Dominic Toretto, an ultra-cool, know-it-all who doesn't need any help and is no fun to be around sidekicks Rose Leslie and Elijah Wood have to try pretty hard. Eight hundred years later, he - of course - hunts witches.

In the prologue, and evil witch queen falls under the blade of warrior Kaulder (Vin Diesel) and curses him to eternal life. The screen twitches and jumps along with it, in a great mess of jumbled, inky images and globby, writhing digital tree branches, or tendrils, or whatever they were supposed to be. The witches in The Last Witch Hunter make a great deal of howling, crunching, clattering noise. If you thought witches quietly mixed potions and cast spells in their little hovels, think again.
