The Last Witch Hunter is a 2015 American fantasy action film directed by Breck Eisner and written by Cory Goodman, Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, and based on the Dungeons & Dragons campaigns of Vin Diesel's Melkor the Witch-Hunter.

The film stars Vin Diesel as an immortal witch hunter who must stop a plague from ravaging the entire world.

[6] The film was released on October 23, 2015, grossing $147 million while receiving generally unfavorable reviews from critics.

Eight hundred years ago, the Witch Queen unleashes the Black Plague to wipe out humanity.

In the present day, Kaulder prevents a teenager from unintentionally destroying an airplane with weather-controlling runes.

Using clues that 36 left behind, Kaulder goes to a witch bar, owned by Chloe and Miranda, to buy a memory spell to help him remember how he died and came back.

Though he kills Belial in a confrontation, the Queen reenters the world through the sacrifice of another witch (Max Schlesinger) and escapes into the city, stealing Kaulder's immortality.

[24] On 13 November 2015, The Last Witch Hunter Soundtrack, with music composed by Steve Jablonsky was released.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Grim, plodding, and an overall ill fit for Vin Diesel's particular charms, The Last Witch Hunter will bore and/or confuse all but the least demanding action-fantasy fans.

"[33] Inkoo Kang of TheWrap thought it aimed for pulp but wasn't "as fleet, funny, or detailed as it needs to be".

[34] Simon Abrams for RogerEbert.com called it "atypically dopey but consummately well-assembled", and praised Diesel as "especially charming".

[36] Though it was initially planned to be a franchise, the poor box office showing as well as Diesel's busy film schedule has cast doubts on a sequel getting made.
