Handling disasters of witches, demons, and other fantastical creatures is Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), a magical defender or known as a “Spook” who requires the aid of an apprentice to complete his mission duties. Does this movie have what it takes to launch a movie franchise or is it just another run-of-the-mill fantasy flop?Īfter being imprisoned for years, the witch queen Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore) has escaped from captivity, eager to reclaim her dark dominion over the land, with her sister Lizzie (Antje Traue) and Lizzie’s daughter Alice (Alicia Vikander) by the her side. Many years after extravaganza of the Harry Potter movies, Universal Studios brings another YA fantasy book to moviegoers everywhere with the film Seventh Son, based on the popular books series ( The Wardstone Chronicles) or in the US (T he Last Apprentice) by Joseph Delaney. Try as they might, these books to film movies were met with mediocre results with films like The Golden Compass, Eragon, and The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (which had potential to be great and launch a movie franchise), but missed its mark and failed in capturing the cinematic following that the boy with the lightning bolt scar had done. With the success of Harry Potter films, many Hollywood studios tried to recreate that formula by adapting similar YA fantasy books for the big screen.
