Erik The Prince
of Draeganoth is summoned home by his dying father the king, but upon
returning he finds his father already dead and his kingdom very near death as
well. His only clue is a mysterious
crazy old man with a mystic book who claims Witches are the cause. Now his only hope to restore the kingdom is to
hunt down these witches, but a greater secret is revealed when discovers their
stronghold and the origins of his kingdom in Pearry Reginald Teo’s Witchville (2010).
Erik (Andrew Pleavin) was happily touring the continent with his brother,
drinking and making merry with local bar girls until fate calls him home. As the heir to the throne, he returns to find
his lands covered with famine and verge of collapse. He could not find any reason or cause until a
'witchhunter' claims it is the power of a coven of witches who is controlled by
the Red Queen is causing all the crops to die and his people to suffer. Now he and his warrior brothers must find and
kill this queen of dark sorcery. Luke
Goss also stars.
This was a very fantasy-like movie, the costumes looked great, they looked like
characters from some Dungeons and Dragons game (and the girls looked
pretty hot), but that was about it, the story and plot could have been better
and more thought out, whenever something couldn't be explain it is covered
up/over by magic. Turns out the
reluctant prince was fighting his evil jaded mother who wants to take over
world and get him to join her.
