After a while, the movie tires of the witch business and trots out a plot twist that permits the effects department to spend money.

Underneath the underwhelming production design and the aimless narrative, a couple of intriguing ideas are disposed of with little fanfare.

And yet Schut plays it both ways as the film wants to end in a CG freak show of zombie monks, flying demons and great balls of fire.
